Cook Norman

The geographical position of the Normandy determines its kitchen which profits from its fertile soils providing him to abundance the agricultural produce while the sea liberally provides it out of various fish and shellfish. Normandy likes the good expensive one and its kitchen is characterized primarily by its agricultural production and piscicultural. The dairy products hold the top of the paving stone to with it: the use made by the Norman ones of the Butter and the cream in their kitchen is quasi-legendary. It is them which imposed the use of butter instead of the Lard in the French kitchen on leaving the Renaissance. In the same way, in 1651 already, the Game preserve indicates in the Cook François that “the Norman ones mestent of the cresme in the majority of their sausses; for example in cod, & pruneaux.” As for the Cheese S, the Camembert is indisputably the Fromage French most known in the world. The Norman ones - especially in the Flowering ash - are also of big eaters of Viande. A characteristic is certainly the Agneau of salt meadow lamb which grazes the flora saltworks of Bay of the Mount-Saint-Michel and the Cotentin, which confers on its Viande subtle and inimitable iodized savor. Side of the Pork-butchery, the Tripes with the mode of Caen are a clever and goûteuse way to adapt meat offals of the Bœuf whose reputation largely crossed the borders of the Normandy, which however knows other ways quite as tasty to prepare them, as to Ferté-Macé where one prepares them out of packages, to Coutances where one uses cream or with Authon-of-Pole with bacon, but it is the Caen-native version which enjoys an international repute. The Andouille of Transfers is also famous. A dessert suitable for the Normandy is the Teurgoule dating from the 17th century, serves made using the Riz and of the taken by the Norman corsairs with the Spaniards grooves. The Pomme S play a paramount role in the kitchen Norman, as well in the desserts as in the manufacture of the Cidre, then apple-brandy. The food most likely to be found in an identified receipt as pertaining to the kitchen Norman is his product-headlight such as the Pomme S (known as “of the air” and used like vegetables), butter, the cream, the Cidre and the apple-brandy.

The author of the first recipe book of the French culinary history is Norman the Taillevent.
