The secret to French cooking is in the delicate preparation of each ingredients. Take any classic French recipe and you will find that the simplest of foods are enhanced in flavour and texture by precise culinary techniques. By following this approach, you can create elevated dishes that are characteristic of French cuisine. Here’s how to achieve three classically French recipes with the help of some unique pieces of cookware.
For a Flawless Plum Tarte Tartin
It’s all in the flip for this delicious French dessert! Once fully baked and slightly cooled, run a butter knife around the crust to loosen the pie from the dish. Then, flip with confidence! The wide helper handles on either side of the Tarte Tatin Dish will help flip your pie right-side up on to a plate with ease. Et voilà! Your beautifully caramelized plums should now be showcased at the top of your tarte tatin.

Sometimes, the simplest of recipes require the utmost care while preparing to achieve their full flavour and texture profile. This Baked Camembert requires just that. Use a sharp knife to score the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern before baking in the Camembert Baker. Make shallow cuts to allow the cheese to melt and become gooey inside (about ½ cm deep). Remember, baking times may vary depending on the size and ripeness of the cheese, so keep a watchful eye on it to prevent over-baking!

For French Onion Soup that Packs a Punch
Taking the time to prepare this dish is well worth the effort! For the best caramelized onions, thinly slice the onions, then use a heavy-bottomed Enamelled Cast Iron pot like the 3.6 L Covered Sauté Pan to slowly break them down until they’re a light golden-brown colour. Low and slow it the name of the game, so be sure to take the necessary time to properly cook the onions. After all, it’s the main flavour in this dish! Serve with au gratin breadcrumbs at the top in French Onion Soup Bowls and enjoy!
