October A Taste of France Last Tuesday in the Month 7.30pm BOOKING ONLY
French Fine Cuisine -French cuisine was codified in the 20th century by Escoffier to become the modern version of haute cuisine; Escoffier, however, left out much of the regional culinary character
to be found in the regions of France. Gascon
cuisine has also had great influence over the cuisine in the southwest of France. Many dishes that were once regional have proliferated in variations across the country.
