Of all the genres of food, French cuisine is perhaps the most renowned in the world. While French cuisine can be traced to its roots, chefs today have developed a tendency to experiment with influences from around the world, ranging from Indian spices such as curry and Middle Eastern ones like cumin. 2, record 3, English, - French%20cuisine

La cuisine française connaît [...] des différences régionales : les régions du Nord font plutôt de la cuisine au beurre ou à l'aide de graisses animales, tandis que celles du Sud utilisent davantage d'huile. [...] même la cuisine du Sud-Ouest, célèbre pour sa gastronomie à base de foie gras et de confits, serait bénéfique : la graisse d'oie aurait des vertus insoupçonnées, qui la rendraient aussi bonne pour la santé que l'huile d'olive. 2, record 3, French, - cuisine%20fran%C3%A7aise

Specialized cuisine, ethnic food demand trend tin dining out.-Not too many years ago, when most North Americans thought of dining out, their idea of a gastronomic treat tended more often than not to beef, beef and more beef. Restaurants, of course, were quick to meet the demand. No self-respecting French menu was without tournedos Rossini, steak tartar or entrecôte au poivre flambé at table... The "in" thing, suddenly, is a craving for exotic ethnic dishes and specialized cuisine. 2, record 4, English, - ethnic%20restaurant
