French cuisine ranges from what we think of as "haute cuisine" found in expensive Michelin-starred restaurants to hearty country-style food, from delicate pastries to robust wines. French food is in general not difficult to make, but using the correct ingredients will make a world of difference. Regional styles vary across the country of France, and most depend heavily on local produce seasonally available. The sauce-heavy style of cooking popular for a time is now being replaced by fresh, light dishes with an emphasis on flavor and presentation.
