在糕点和慢炖晚餐之间，法国人确实知道美食.

Baguette
很少有东西能与刚烤好的面包的香味相比. 除了法国街头新鲜出炉的面包，一切都是如此.
外面酥脆，里面很有嚼劲, a true French baguette can be eaten entirely on its own, 当然涂上黄油也不是不可能.
Translating to "wand", "baton" or "stick", 1920年，法棍面包首次被记录为一种面包, 尽管它们的起源可以追溯到19世纪初.
Like most traditional breads, 真正的法棍面包是由面粉的简单组合而成的, water, salt, and yeast.

Crêpes
就像西雅图的星巴克一样，你在法国几乎每个角落都能找到crêperie.
They're so popular in fact, that February 2nd became known as the Day of the Crêpes, 指的是在圣烛节献Crêpes的传统, a traditional Chrisitan holiday celebrated in France.
A thin pancake of sorts, Crêpes通常装满了甜的或咸的食材，卷起来或折叠起来吃起来很方便. Making crêpes at home is also super simple, 因为它们只需要几种原料，面糊可以用搅拌机搅拌.
不过你得准备一个大煎锅，或者 a special crêpe pan if you're really feeling committed.

French Onion Soup
当阴雨连绵，天气寒冷，你想要的只是温暖和舒适的感觉时，法式洋葱汤就是最好的选择. It's also one of the easier and cheaper soups to make, 只需要一些简单的食材和几个小时的时间.
Historically, French onion soup was thought of as an affordable, accesible food for the masses, given that onions were plentiful and easy to grow. 如今，你可以在世界各地的餐馆菜单上找到法式洋葱汤.
1861年，纽约餐馆老板亨利·穆昆将法式洋葱汤带到了美国, where his wife Marie was the chef. 从那里，它传遍了美国和世界其他地区.
If you want to try making it at home, 你要做的就是慢慢地把洋葱烤焦, simmer them with some beef broth and seasonings, and top them off with toasted, cheesy bread! It's the perfect easy soup for a busy weeknight.

Beef Bourguignon
Another cozy stick-to-your-bones meal, 勃艮第炖牛肉是一种小火慢炖牛肉，口感丰富, savory, melt-in-your-mouth flavor that's frankly indescribable.
Hailing from the Burgundy region of France, beef bourguigon is a simple, yet elegant stew that consists of beef stew meat, carrots, onions, and garlic braised in red wine and beef stock. 然后加入珍珠洋葱、蘑菇和培根作为配菜，使整顿饭更加美味.
Though it may seem like a super old, traditional dish, bourguinon牛肉实际上只能追溯到19世纪, making it a relatively new French dish. 如果你还需要相信这道菜值得你花时间在厨房里, 茱莉亚·查尔德(Julia Child)曾将这道菜描述为“绝对是人类制作的最美味的牛肉菜肴之一”."

Coq au Vin
Now if beef stew isn't your thing, 也许传统的法式红烧鸡更适合你! 酒焖牛肉与勃艮第牛肉相似，因为肉是在红酒中慢炖的, stock, and a variety of veggies, 但不同之处在于，带骨头的鸡大腿是首选的蛋白质.
传说酒焖鸡可以追溯到凯撒大帝时代, 尽管没有太多的文件来支持这种说法.
但我们知道的是，酒焖鸡真正流行起来是在1961年, 茱莉亚·查尔德在她的食谱中加入了一份法式主食的食谱, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
She also prepared it on the PBS cooking show, The French Chef, 数百万人收看，这道菜在美国流行起来.

Duck Confit
Simply put, 油封鸭是一种法国美食，用盐腌整只鸭子, herbs, and spices before being cooked in its own fat. "Confit" actually translates to "with fat".
The salt cure acts as a preservative, 保持鸡肉的新鲜，同时让它浸泡在盐、香草和大蒜的美味中. Confit是一种有几个世纪历史的工艺，它可以制作出美味、鲜嫩、美味的肉片.
Traditionally, 许多人会把鸭子放在冰箱里腌制6个月, 让它成为一种一年四季都可以享用的可持续食物. While we don't recommend trying this at home, 我们强烈推荐下面的食谱，因为它不需要大量的鸭油，但仍然能让你尝到法国的味道.

Macarons
While macarons definitely have a wonderful flavor, what really makes them so special is their light, airy, perfectly crumbly texture. 多亏了杏仁粉和搅打过的蛋白, macarons, when baked correctly, are the perfect sweet treat no matter the occasion.
The history of the macaron is actually quite rich! So rich, in fact, 那本食品百科全书将马卡龙的起源追溯到8世纪!
During the renaissance, 1533年，一位意大利厨师为法国王后凯瑟琳·德·美第奇(Catherine de' Medici)制作了马卡龙，以庆祝她与法国亨利二世的婚礼. 1792年，两位在法国寻求庇护的修女烘焙并出售马卡龙，以帮助支付他们的住房费用.
马卡龙于2010年开始在美国流行起来，这要归功于小型面包店，当然还有, social media. Today, you can find macarons all over the world, 虽然我们认为在法国享受的是完全不同的体验.
