Since cheese, crusty bread, and wine are the cornerstones of French cuisine, it’s fast becoming one of my favorites. But food from the Western European country is much more than pre and post dinner treats. With each region contributing it’s own style, French cuisine has become a global mainstay for foodies. Below are some of my picks for this week’s Gastronome Wednesday ~ Ooo La La French!
