French food is always in vogue. Every region of France prides itself on its food and for good reason. The food of France is one of the truly great cuisines of the world and their breads, pastries, and cheeses are second to none. French food is not just the haut cuisine found in top restaurants; home-style regional dishes are something special as well. There are hearty and rustic dishes like the cassoulet of Languedoc and boeuf bourguignon from Burgundy and also lighter-style dishes like the ratatouille of Provence and delicate crepes of Brittany.
