Experience Provencal cuisine in Paris amidst a setting from South of France. Other Information Featured Restaurant la Bastide d’Opio 9 rue Guisarde www.bistrot-opio.com +33 1 43 29 01 84 provence@opio.com We are on a lovely little road in the 6 arrondissement, Rue Guisarde. And we are going to go to number 9 to la Bastide d’Opio, a lovely Provencal restaurant. Provence, a region in the south of France, is known for its cuisine. It is known to have one of the healthiest cuisines throughout the world. What distinguishes Provencal cuisine from other French cuisine is that it uses olive oil as the main ingredient to prepare the food, unlike other regions that tend to use cream and butter. And we are going to visit the Provencal restaurant, la Bastide d’Opio. “The name of the restaurant, the Bastide d’Opio, comes from the name of the village Opio that is located in Provence. It is in between Nice and Grasse. (Colors) are exactly what you would find on every Provencal house.” Provencal cuisine evokes all the different flavors of a lovely, warm, sunny climate. “Many things are cooked in olive oil with the Herbes de Provence and the “sun” vegetables like tomatoes. You have also got herbed bread, lots of basil, the pistou sauce.” If you are not sure what to order while you are here, you may want to take a look at the suggestion board.

(in French literally means “fat liver”) is defined by French law as “duck or goose liver fattened by force feeding (gavage)” [1].Foie gras is one of the most famous French cuisine, because of its high fat content (80% [2]), is very warm, gelatinous, and has a less intense flavor of the normal livers of duck and goose.Force-feeding causes abnormal growth of the liver and an increase in fat cells known as hepatic steatosis. [3] This phenomenon has been interpreted as a natural adaptation by some experts [4], but as a real pathology, steatosis, other [5].For this reason, organizations for animal rights and animal rights movements consider the production of foie gras a real cruelty to animals. The producers of foie gras contend that the force-feeding does not cause pain or harm to health, and that the scientific evidence available to date on the subject are not sufficient either peremptory. The production of foie gras is illegal in many countries, in almost all of the EU, particularly in Italy it is illegal since March 2007. Even in France it is illegal and therefore the production is done by using raw materials imported from other countries, mainly from Hungary..

There are only a few wine tasting groups that deserve my immediate attention in South Florida and the Wine Wizards are one of them. I have been to just a few tasting events that they have put on and they have all been “once in a lifetime” tasting events. This last one was just a few nights ago at Daniel Boulud’s Bistro Moderne in downtown Miami. This new restaurant is a more casual version of the upscale French haut cuisine restaurants that were opening a decade ago. This is a mix between haut cuisine and classic French cuisine that is more comfort food than gourmet. Although the service was haut cuisine, which is what we expect from the formal nature of service in French inspired restaurants. The service staff was professionally dressed in tie and jacket and they served every course in unison, a very impressive little extra service point which is made easier by the fact that we all had the same dishes as this was a pre-planned event with multiple courses. The most impressive thing about the evening was the wine service, which was headed by Sergio Caceres the assistant General Manager and sommelier for the evening. These guys had a glass for every wine and they were removed and reset effortlessly without breaking stride and the pace of the event was perfect.

In this video I share my homemade croissant and petit pain au chocolat recipe. I show how to make them from scratch. Croissant & Petit-Pain-Au-Chocolat are a typical French pastry. They are usually served for breakfast but they also make a great snack for adults and younger children. This recipe is my own. There are different ways of making the pâte feuilletée (puff pastry) but this is how I found it works best. When placing the cold butter in the dough it shouldn’t fall in pieces like it did in this video. But for some reason this recipe gave me a harder time making it when I tried to record it.
