Where do you get cottage bacon?

Why don’t you take the white covering off the BRIE?

Beautiful song! Thank you for sharing. ❤

Thank you very muche.

I can increase your channel subscribers.

Please forgive my ignorance in asking this question. In the UK you have traditional Pork Pies, Steak & Kidney, Cornish Pasties, etc. I cannot find any French pies and pasties with Pork, Chicken, Mutton, etc fillings. Please help, I am looking for recipes that can be made, frozen and baked or re-heated when required.

Beautiful art ❤

Looking forward to seeing it. We will be there at an Airbnb in two weeks. Thank you for the tour.

Nice but very short your video I like it

we are exploring North of Spain with border to France.. this video is very helpful.

What is the name of the restaurant on 1 minute and 15 seconds? Looks so romantic!😊

Hello from Australia.

It's nice to hear a hint of Occitaine it was planned many people from all over the World would make the Journey then strangely the Demierge sent a Virus in 2021 please tell us about Guillaume Belabatiste.

Wow. I really felt like I grew in appreciation for French culture through their approach to wellness. The mindset in America is so boggling - always in extremes, confusion. The hardest part of it all is the weight leads to fatigue and more health problems. In my 20’s I had the walk-to-train-walk-to-work routine and I physically was spent when I got to my building at 8am. I rarely made time for breakfast, snacked on junk, lunch was takeaway while working, etc. I feel like French culture reminds us what it is to appreciate the simplicity of being human!

God is good thinking that have the most beautiful face strawberry physique God! What could I ask for! It's everybody wish and dream 🌼🌸💚🤎🎄🍏💖☀️😘💋🌍

Yes, I will make this soon, after I get that spice mix.

During the 15th and 16th centuries the French were influenced by the progressing culinary arts in Italy. Much of this happened because of Catherine de' Medici (a Florentine princess) Italian cooks were light years ahead of French culinary specialists. Italian inovation With the arrival of Catherine, French cuisine slowly moved away from silk-road spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg) and turned towards garden herbs (rosemary, sage, oregano, basil). Caterina recommended that savory and sweet flavors be separated (during medieval times, sweet and savory had shared the same plate) and rather than smothering food with spices, French cooks attempted to enhance natural flavors instead. Soon, meat was served in its own juices and fish was served in sauces that were created with fish stock.Other Italian dishes that Caterina introduced to France include Spinach, Crêpes, Soup d’Oignon, Macaroons and Béchamel sauce. Caterina loved spinach so much that she insisted it be included in every meal and even today, any dish with spinach in it has become known to the French as ‘Florentine style’. Crêpes or Crespelle? The famous French delicacy ‘Crêpes’ takes its name from the Crespelle alla Fiorentina - in Renaissance times it was known as pezzuole della nonne (literally, “grandmother’s cloth”) unlike the French habit of eating crêpes sweet - Italians stuffed them with Ricotta and (you guessed it) spinach! Carabaccia was another of Caterina’s favorite Tuscan dishes. This unique onion soup is found in French cuisine today under the name ‘Soup d’Oignon’. Duck à l’orange was much appreciated at the Medici court in Florence - Catarina’s chefs brought this dish with them from Italy. In Florence, the orange duck was known as Papero al Melarancio. Macarons Colorful, soft, and delicately flavored, macarons are perhaps one of the most famous and treasured French desserts. But these delicious treats are actually Italian! Macarons were created by Italian monks in the Middle Ages. Caterina’s pastry chefs brought the Macaron to France from Italy, where they had been produced in Venetian monasteries since the 8th century. Béchamel Sauce Salsa Colla (“glue sauce”) was the Italian prototype of Béchamel Sauce. In Renaissance times, the common population did not have the luxury of modern refrigeration and therefore they rarely used milk in their recipes since it spoiled quickly. Only the noble-born families could use milk in their sauces, so it is very plausible that Caterina’s chefs did indeed bring Béchamel sauce to the French kitchen. During Caterina’s reign, bread was replaced as a thickener by the lighter roux, flour and butter combined with a meat stock. The roux still remains part of the repertoire of French chefs today. The Italian princess Caterina di Medici is frequently (if not always accurately) credited with introducing Italian cuisine and dining innovations to France via the Italian cooks who followed her there. How influential was Caterina? While many historians argue as to whether Caterina was really that pivotal to furthering the evolution of French cuisine, it is not possible to deny the gastronomic mark she left on her adopted home countries culinary culture. In addition to leaving her stamp on fashion and society (thanks to her we have high heels and underpants), Catarina’s philosophy of dining became wildly popular among the wealthy upper-classes, and her favorite ingredients (spinach, garlic, caviar and truffles) became central to the French palette. Caterina started a Renaissance trend of perfection in culinary service in France. Her court introduced refinements in table etiquette, sophisticated utensils, and a complex dining ritual that was further elaborated over the following centuries, turning the French dinner table into a mesmerizing art of beautiful presentation and contemporary flavors.

Very nice video. I like your voice and agree with you on all points. I "discovered" the mystique of French women through watching movies in the French language with subtitles, in streaming such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. First it was Christa Theret in the movie "Renoir." I was enraptured with her in that movie. Then it was Marion Cotillard, then Sophie Marceau. Who I absolutely adore. Then many more fine French actresses. I watched them in interviews and noticed their hair, their confidence, their natural look, not too much makeup, their svelte figures, and many other factors that you explain so well. The ultimate revelation for me was the discovery late in life of Francoise Hardy. Who I consider to be the ultimate feminine woman. Mostly her KZbin videos from the 60's and 70's and I also have most of her albums from those years on CD. I wondered how I had missed most of my life how beautiful the French language is. I have never been in France and probably won't make it there. But I admire French women very much.

The tradition of each region is named "terroirs". Dont believe the lies of World Health Organisation. Traditional French cuisine is very healthy when eaten at mealtime.

Unfortunatly French women lifestyle as any other French tradition Is now in grave danger. As a French man i have to say that in my eyes to much make-up as any other thing means a lack of "classe" and self confidence / estime de soit. About the posture, it comes from the practis of dance as for the men who traditionaly practis French martial art ( now almost extinct like French savate or French Wrestling ) including the use of combat cane as a tool for self défense ( very very popular and old tradition)

Thank you, we will be in Sarlat on September 20.

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

I will like to join the training

How to go there? For sure we need a guide. I don't speak French too.

I want to see again 🌈

Sooo beautiful 🙏

If you tell us what pan you used, will you get a commission? :D

hummm.... How about with Huckleberries? And i learned so very much!!

Merci, Coco! I loved the presentation of the Cathars fortresses. I understand there is one Chateau d'Aguilar, Cathar castle. Beautiful landscapes but indeed a very hard life. Salut!

I've made many Croque Monsieur's over the years CoCo. The best are usually "okay." Most didn't seem worth the effort. Some were just not good. Yours is the best Croque Monsieur I've ever made or ate. I'm now two for two on your recipes CoCo.

Hi Coco. Thank you for the lovely video. I have been to Peyrepertuse and Queribus, they are spectacular. Peyrepertuse was also a favorite gathering place for the Troubadours, as was Puivert. AT Puivert they held annual poetry competitions, and Eleanor of Aquitaine was known to attend, along with her son Richard Coeur de Leon. I love the south of France.

Hey CoCo, this was delicious. It rates up there as the top stew I've ever made. I will do your Chocolate Truffles next.

Cuisine Gastronomique: looks inviting but very expensive!

Hey Co Co, can you substitute Salt Pork for the Cottage Bacon? I've never seen it in the U.S.

I've seen all 4 of her evolution of French Cuisine. No one has ever just given it simply like she does. I'd always wondered how it went in the step by step process. Then she lights it up with her beautiful smile at the end. Great videos. I'll look for more.

What convinced me to subscribe was how nice you were to the person who called your recipe boring. That, plus these truffles are the easiest I've seen on you tube and I look forward to making them. I also look forward to your History of French Cuisine videos to watch when I get a chance. Your subscriber count seems too low for a nice lady like yourself. I hope you provide us with more such videos. You hit me on two of my favorite subjects. History and easy French recipes. I hope to see more of either from you.

Thanks a lot for posting this recipe! Have a school cooking competition and decided to make this as a side drink for my french dish. The recipe is very hard to find on the internet and no one gave the proper quantities... but u did!

sorry, I was hoping for at least a few snapshots of some examples, rather than just a talking head. "Let the Dog see the Rabbit"

By far one of the best french culinary channels on youtube thank you for the well put information! Good job too this video was shot in one take!

Merci pour cette vidéo. Quel est le nom de la musique ?

Will the yolk give an egg smell?

Brilliant!
