Want to learn how to cook French food but struggling to find the motivation to start? I get it. Sometimes, just crossing that starting line can feel like the hardest part.

And don’t worry, when you approach it the right way, learning French cooking is easier than you might think.

PARISIAN SALAD
The so-called Parisian salad was born out of the bourgeoning tourism trade in Paris, created from the need for cafés to offer a quick bite for foreigners near the busy train and metro stations.
