French Vegetarian Recipes

While French cuisine may arguably be world's most famous and intricate fare, it certainly does not win the title for most vegetarian-friendly. Aspiring vegetarian chefs face a daunting challenge while attempting to employ French classical techniques and recipes, while at the same time maintaining a meatless menu. Every giant of French culinary lore, from Escoffier to Bocuse, relies nearly exclusively on recipes filled with things like meat stocks, veal bones, butter, and cream.

So, while some of the finer points of classical French cooking must be left aside, we are still able to appreciate much of the amazing culinary diversity of France. Wonderful dairy-based sauces, vibrant Provencal vegetable dishes, pungent and alluring artisan cheeses, and a veritable galaxy of the world's finest fresh herbs abound in French cuisine. This culinary variation, paired with the French's heartfelt love for food and a solid focus on skill and preparation, makes French cuisine and technique integral to the world of vegetarian food.
