In France, the best way to start dinner is to consult the market down the street; there, all of the country's flavors are at your fingertips: the Mediterranean, the French Alps, the Basque regions, and more, without ever leaving your kitchen. Brian DeFehr used the markets as inspiration to create dishes like the following:
- Pear, Chestnut, and Radicchio salad
- Braised Quails with Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish
- Cherry Tomato and Basil Clafoutis
- Seared Duck Breast and Caramelized Fennel
- Crè Bruléwith Lavender Infusion, and more!
