French Cuisine
What are 2 synonyms for classic french cuisine?
I have to find the answer on the internet, and so far have been unlucky at finding anything.
nouvelle cuisine
Definition: “A moment in cookery, started in 1972 by two food critics, H. Gault and C. Millau, with the aim of encouraging a simpler and more natural presentation of food. The movement combined a publicity campaign with novel recipes and a new ethic, although the idea itself was not new. Foreshadowing the apostles of nouvelle cuisine, Voltaire complained: ‘I confess that my stomach does not take to this style of cooking. I cannot accept calves’ sweetbreads swimming in a salty sauce, nor can I eat mince consisting of turkey, hare, and rabbit, which they try to persuade me comes from a single animal. As for the cooks, I really cannot be expected to put up with this ham essence, nor the excessive quantity of morels and other mushrooms, pepper and nutmeg, with which they disguise perfectly good food.’
haute cuisine
1. Elaborate or skillfully prepared food, especially that of France.
2. The characteristic manner or style of preparing such food.
