French Bistro
Most simply, a bistro is a small neighborhood restaurant serving home style, substantial fare. It is the essence of casual cooking as opposed to the high classical recipes that are often difficult to achieve for the average home cook. French cooking at its best, bistro dishes can be lusty and earthy filling the air with wafts of pungent garlic or bacon sizzling, or the aroma of a perfectly roasted chicken. Food we can relate to – delicious green salads, golden potato gratins, inexpensive but flavorful cuts of meat with succulent pan sauces, sweet creamy custards or flans. Bistro reveres French comfort food – in the words of Thomas Keller, “this kind of food makes us feel good just by looking at it. This food makes people happy.” What could be better?
