When I think of culinary I think of France, the culinary capitol of the world. France has so many types of cooking styles in their many regions, such as, the region of Languedoc. (Rapp, 2011) (Rapp, 2011)Languedoc is in southern France. Languedoc was a dominion of the Counts of Toulouse — independent principalities in southwestern France — until the thirteenth century when it became a possession of the French Crown. In the past many French people considered the Languedoc a desert of French gastronomy. But the rich tradition of cooking in Languedoc was evident long ago, if we consider Racine's comment, who first remarked, while staying in Uzès in 1661, that twenty caterers could make a living there but a bookseller would starve to death, …show more content…

Languedoc has many cities in its region such as Toulouse. Now Toulouse is known as the land of the goose and the land of the olive. Toulouse is a paradise of its lover of the olive tree and its fruit. You will find that everything that can be manufactured from the olive tree, Toulouse specializes in many of those products that contain olives such as olive oil, spreads, breads, cosmetic and much more. Toulouse make a good olive oil and a good olive oil base for natural products. (Wright, 2014). Now for the land of the goose in Toulouse is known for its breeding of goose and it originally bred to make the French delicacy foie gras known as a fatten goose liver by force feeding com with a gavage, the Toulouse goose originated near Toulouse and they are domestic and are raised on farms in Europe.

Indeed, some cultures like Chinese, Mexican, Thai are well known for their food and the status of their religion. Through the lens of the first reading by Fischler (1988, p. 275) “Food is central to our sense of identity”. The following journal shapes the significance of phenomenological basis to understand the food and ideas of an individual. In contemporary world, we can relate food and the background where it comes from. The relationship of cuisines and human beings involves complex cognitive processes. According to my understanding to identify a cuisine, we need to recognize
While examining a culture, most people would typically think of the language, religion, style of dress, and customs of that particular group, but some people fail to realize the importance of that culture’s food. During the late 1800s and early-mid 1900s, many various ethnic and cultural groups immigrated to the United States and brought with them their cuisine. In the novel Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration by Hasia R. Diner, the ways of which American culture has shaped the food culture of immigrants in the US and how their foods influenced American cuisine.

From doing this first assignment project, I learned how focused the French culture is on art and how involved it is in their everyday lives. Art can come in so many forms in the French culture, a few being paintings, sketches, sculpting, and making music. As well as this, I learned about Impressionism which is a form of art that specifically came from the French culture in the 1870s and the 1880s.

Lastly, I learned how the French culture is full of elegance and love, which is also displayed through their artwork as well.
Which is the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating good food. In this food centric episode, Bourdain and Boulud travel back to Boulud's hometown of Lyon, France for a once in a lifetime experience of French cuisine's rich food culture and legendary chefs, with a focus on Nouvelle Cuisine innovator Paul Bocuse. Paul Bocuse is a French chef based in Lyon who is famous for the high quality of his restaurants and his innovative approaches to cuisine. A student of Eugénie Brazier, he is one of the most prominent chefs associated with the nouvelle cuisine, which is less opulent and calorific than the traditional cuisine classique, and stresses the importance of fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Which is a similar trait to Copenhagen. Bocuse has made many contributions to French gastronomy both directly and indirectly, because he has had numerous students, many of whom have become famous chefs themselves. Like Mexico City chef Eduardo Garcia, chefs like Boulud, Bocuse, Mathew, Joseph, Alain, and many more chefs. Had to work their way up the restaurant chain to get to the top, hard work always pays
When you think about France, what do you usually envision? Do you think of the center of fashion and design, the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux, or maybe the smooth language of love?

As he pulled the covers off of his naked body, he couldn’t remember anything about the night before. What was even more frightening was that he could remember anything from the last week.

A small mouse named Remy, under the direct guidance of late Chef Auguste Gusteau, practically becomes a chef and the topic of discussion by cooking Ratatouille.
