French side dishes show how strongly French cuisine relies on simplicity, technique and good ingredients. From potato dishes and seasonal vegetables to gratins, salads and classic garnishes: it is often the side dishes that make a meal complete.
In short: French side dishes are often simple in structure, but carefully prepared. Vegetables, potatoes, butter, cream, herbs and good olive oil are used to create dishes that pair well with meat, fish, poultry or a generous French meal.
