French cuisine is renowned worldwide for its sophistication, attention to detail, and rich history. At La Maison D'Or, we take pride in preserving these culinary traditions while adding our own contemporary twist.

The Foundation of French Cooking

The foundation of French cuisine lies in its mother sauces - Béchamel, Espagnole, Hollandaise, Tomato, and Velouté. These five sauces form the basis of many classic French dishes and demonstrate the importance of technique in French cooking.

Essential Techniques

Mastering French cuisine requires perfecting various cooking techniques:

  • Sautéing - Quick cooking over high heat
  • Braising - Slow cooking in liquid
  • Poaching - Gentle cooking in liquid
  • Flambéing - Adding and igniting spirits

Modern Interpretations

While we honor traditional techniques, modern French cuisine embraces innovation and global influences. At La Maison D'Or, we combine classic methods with contemporary presentations to create unique dining experiences.
