French Recipes
French cuisine has laid the foundations for the Western culinary world since the 17th century, placing emphasis on seasonality, regionality and above all, respect for the creation of quality food.

Daube de Boeuf Recipe
Eric Chavot presents another French classic in this daube de boeuf recipe.

This recipe uses beef featherblade to continue this tradition, a much overlooked cut that offers just as much flavour as more expensive alternatives when cooked correctly.
