Why are the French so proud of their cooking?

Each country has its own specific cuisine and culinary art.

Japanese chefs, for example, have a very simple way of preparing food.

Indian cooking, on the other hand, is rich in spices, colors and flavors, which blend together brilliantly.

So why does everyone keep talking about French cooking?

Gastronomy started in France in the late 18th century. That means cooking became an “art”.

The whole of Europe recognised the qualities of French chefs and their demanding level.

Books were written on the art of cooking. Rich people and aristocrats made it an important art. Dishes were discussed philosophically.

So much so that France became the world leader in gastronomy for over 2 centuries.
