Foodie French Friday: Cuisine Bourgeoise

written by robin

This week's Foodie French phrase is Cuisine Bourgeoise {kwee zeen boor jwaz}.


It is not a food, but more of a style of French cooking.

It's a cuisine that is usually prepared in large "family-style" quantities.  The dishes are simple, but of high quality.  It includes hearty dishes like beef stew, mutton stew, beef stew au gratin, lamb stew or calf sweetbreads (belch).

It is slow cooked food, homey fare that seems more like home cooking, although some restaurants still serve Cuisine Bourgeoise.

When I think of Cuisine Bourgeoise , I think of that delicious Boeuf Bourguignon I made.  

Cuisine Bourgeoise

I think that could totally be considered Cuisine Bourgeoise, non?


What is your favorite type of French comfort food?
