Top 5 Regional French Recipes

Top 5 Regional French Recipes

France borders eight other countries, including Italy, Spain, and Germany, and stretches from the North Sea to the Mediterranean via a long Atlantic coastline. All of which makes for very varied regional cuisines. Let your tastebuds take you on a vicarious holiday with these five regional French recipes.


Salade Lyonnaise Rhône-Alpes

I fell in love with this hearty salad of bitter leaves, speck and egg at the bouchon La Meunière in Lyon and now it’s one of my go-to entrées and light meals. Don’t confuse it with the much more substantial Saladier Lyonnais, which often includes offal and pickled fish.


Tart Flambée Alsace

This traditional pizza-like flatbread, also called Flammekueche, is a fabulous snack to serve with drinks as it’s easy to assemble ahead of time and just bake as guests arrive. Extra toppings are sometimes added … but I like the classic speck, onion and crème fraîche best.


Ratatouille Provençe

This colourful combination of vegetables and olive oil screams southern France to me. It’s so versatile … delicious hot or cold; as a main or side; and, while eggplant, capsicum, onion, tomato and zucchini are the norm, it can happily be adapted to what’s on hand.


Axoa d’Espelette Basque
www.food-wine-travel.com/axoa-despelette
I discovered this classic braise of veal and peppers (red capsicum, green bullhorn and ground dried Espelette) in the town of Espelette in southwestern France, where the famous mild dark red chillies dry under the eaves of the whitewashed houses. It’s pronounced at-cho-a.


Tarte Tatin Centre
www.food-wine-travel.com/tarte-tatin
This classic dessert looks tricky but is super quick and easy, perfect for impressing dinner party guests. It’s named after the Tatin sisters and their Hôtel Tatin south of Orléans. Best served hot, it can be prepared ahead and popped in the oven when ready to serve.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are Ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Loving Be Inspired! Felt like a kid opening up a Christmas present when the box arrived. Fresh herb pots are a nice touch!

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
