This isnt accurate, and its asinine how people just mindlessly agree with it.
General styles of cooking may have their roots in peasantry, but the modern sophisticated forms of these cusines were heavily refined by professional chefs cooking for nobility or the wealthy.
If you go to a fine french restaurant today, theyre unlikely to be serving plain old coq au vin. I mean, you have to be a total rube to think it's a fancy dish. Theres hundreds of coq au vin recipes online that consist of little more than 'throw everything in a pot'. Thats not modern fine french cooking, thats something anyone can do.
Most of 20th century “high cuisine” French cooking comes from poor and working recipes. That’s also why French cooking prizes simplicity and quality of technique and ingredients – working people couldn’t afford many fancy or expensive ingredients, but they got really good at working their asses off to make a few simple ingredients come together spectacularly
Exactly the opposite of Persian food, also Greek+Turkish+Arabic and the whole west Asian cuisines. They had developed the perfect society that people from every level of society had time to perfect their craft of food making. So many delicious and well cooked and beautifully arranged dishes that can be considered more as art. Iranian dishes can be called "art of Iranian cooking"
Honestly, a lot of best food is kinda like that. ESPECIALLY Italian. French tend to complicate their dishes down the line which is not necesarly a thing with italian cuisine IMO
The funny thing is, that's basically EVERY dish we know today. They started largely as peasant food, somewhere along the line someone refined them, and suddenly it's food for royalty. I mean, people talk about Lobster and Oysters and associate it with the rich, but for a long time they were peasant food
I think Americans and Brits often see French cuisine as “pretentious” or “arrogant,” but to me, that mostly comes from how the French language itself sounds and how the dish names are pronounced abroad. When people say those names with a strong accent or an exaggerated tone, it gives the impression of fancy, high-class food when in reality, these dishes are just part of everyday French culture. Most of the great French classics were created by peasants and workers, simple recipes slow-cooked with quality ingredients, nothing inherently sophisticated about them.

Anthony would be so ashamed of what has happened to his beloved country. France has fallen.

This racist POS hated white people and said they desrved to be kille d. Good riddance to this scumbag.
Anthony Bourdain’s a piece of crap he’s a suicide case😂 never glorify people who do suicide.. they need to be ridiculed
Seeing how being a chef is a “job”, that would mean ALL recipes were/are made by “working people”. The internet is so pretentious.
Theres 2 primary kinds of food that people make, sweet breads, and pot of anything

Actually no. He’s wrong. Most of these foods were fancy because the king wanted all of his Noble‘s in the same house.
Tony gets credit for so much in his amazing career, but damn he was such an amazing writer.
