Burgundian Cooking & 3 Pointers For Budding Chefs

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


If you want to talk about the cultural culinary arts, it's important to go over Burgundian cooking. For those who do not know, this is the home to some of the most comforting meals and most unique entrees that can be served. It's also where those who are apt in French cooking can make a mark. For those who do not know, a good amount of French dishes derive from this particular culinary method, which is tremendous to say the least.

From what I have seen, Burgundian cooking isn't expanded on as much, which I don't believe is right. Of course, it's easy to see that this region does not exactly have the scope of Italy, Spain and other regions which one could more easily associate with the culinary arts. Does this necessarily mean that the Burgundian culinary arts is a topic to toss aside? If anything, I think that this makes it all the more worthwhile to cover in great detail.

Burgundian cooking entails a number of topics, amongst them being the presence of wines. It's vital to make note of the fact that wine has its roots, in French cooking, and I am sure that others can attest to such a statement. In fact, those who are versed in the Burgundian culinary arts are those who find themselves enticed by quality wines such as chardonnay. It's also worth noting that there exist both white and red wines, so pair off foods with care.

As far as the food itself is concerned, there are quite a few points to address. To start off, there is a traditionalist sense that comes from the entrees that are usually prepared, ranging from escargots to roasted veal. These are served with their typical sides but what strikes me is the calorie count that's linked to Burgundian cooking. Specifically, you will find that there are fewer calories and lesser amounts of fat that can be linked to several recipes.

There is the idea of health to consider, as well, when it comes to the Burgundian culinary arts. Specifically, you have to know that water-based cooking must be brought into account, which is a tremendous way to keep calories to a minimum. What's just as striking is the fact that the tastes of the aforementioned favorite meals are not affected. If anything, it only helps to make those dishes that much more appealing, even to those who may not have had them before.
