  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I started learning French Recipes, a couple of months ago.

Chef Jean Pierre and the French Cooking Acadamy on YouTube, have been my
go to sources.

I'm eating like a king and still losing weight and lowering my blood sugar.
French cooking involves lots of butter and cream and of course, wine to go
with the meal.

The big difference I've seen is that portion sizes are smaller than what average American
eats.

French cooking is good to learn, and is not difficult. I studied Escoffier, who was famous for transforming French cuisine, and have cooked many French dishes. Jean Pierre is fun to watch, and he always demonstrates good basic classical techniques, but puts way too much tomato product in his veal/beef stock for my liking. Boeuf Bourguignon is very simple to make, and relatively healthy.

Escoffier’s Poulet Sauté Alice from the French Cooking Acadamy was excellent. I've made it twice now.

It looks delicious! That is French cuisine in a nutshell....simple yet elegant.

Learning French cooking is certainly worthwhile if you like French food. Because dining out at french restaurants is such a bad idea.

It's like encountering daylight robbery (dining out at french restaurants).
Not only that, while doing it yourself, you may make it as healthy as you wish. Since French cuisine is famous for being unhealthy.
So why not instead of dining out at french restaurants, save those money and invest them in french cooking lessons??

French restaurants are typically like being run by semi retired old men (or ladies), who can't stand working too much - their business hours are unbelievably short. If I miss one train, I could easily miss their business hours, arriving to find the chairs stacked, the lights off.
