French cuisine is one of the oldest cooking traditions in Europe. From the easiest popular dish to the most fancy duck royale, cooking in France has always been taken a serious matter. It is easy to guess the origin of the first chefs: Paris.

Why France has always been so into cooking and fine cuisine? The main reason is historical. Since King Luis XIV in mid 1600 the French territory has always been rich and people exited sooner compared to other European Countries from a stage of poverty and countryside lifestyle. The new upper class started to value food and fine dining, hiring professional cooks for parties and everyday's life, ending up in creating a real school for chefs preparing young students for what would have become a regular job.

The other reason for the richness of the French cuisine can be spotted in the high quality ingredients that the French territory is capable to produce. With lot of space for farming and raising animals, the quality of the ingredients have always been superior. Of course, when superior ingredients match people's desire for high end food, only the best recipes and dishes can come out from the mix.
