2. THE HAUTE CUISINE
French haute cuisine is known worldwide and stands for top-class cuisine, sophisticated flavour combinations and high culinary standards. This culinary tradition has its origins in the 17th century, when France's King Louis XIV dominated the Palace of Versailles and royal court life.
Under the reign of Louis XIV, French cuisine became an art form. Strict rules were established for the preparation of food and table ceremonies. The royal chefs were responsible for developing new techniques and refined recipes that appealed to the senses and tantalised the royal palate.
In the 18th century, French cuisine was further refined, particularly through the work of François Pierre de La Varenne, a famous chef and author of the book »Le Cuisinier François«. He laid the foundations for classic French cuisine by defining the preparation of sauces, the use of herbs and spices and the presentation of dishes.
In the 19th century, French haute cuisine reached its peak under Auguste Escoffier, one of the most influential chefs in history. Escoffier introduced a systematic kitchen organisation and wrote the famous work »Le Guide Culinaire«. He standardised recipes, developed cooking techniques and coined culinary terminology.
French haute cuisine is characterised by its love of quality ingredients, its precision in preparation and its emphasis on flavour. The cuisine uses a variety of fresh products such as vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, herbs and spices. Classic French sauces such as béchamel, velouté and hollandaise are an integral part of many dishes.
The presentation of dishes also plays an important role in French haute cuisine. Dishes are carefully arranged with creative garnishes and decorations. The aesthetic beauty of the dishes is just as important as their flavour.
Over the years, French haute cuisine has produced many famous chefs who have had a lasting influence on the culinary world. Names such as Paul Bocuse, Alain Ducasse and Joël Robuchon are just a few examples of top chefs who have continued the tradition of French cuisine and introduced innovative techniques and flavours.
Today, French haute cuisine continues to be an important part of the culinary world, inspiring chefs and gourmets around the world. France is known for its Michelin-starred restaurants, where haute cuisine is celebrated in its highest form. French cuisine is a cultural heritage that has inspired generations of chefs and connoisseurs and continues to play an important role in the global culinary scene.
