An Open Letter to Ron Skaar on French Cuisine

The wonderful person who hosts our group of Francophiles sent me this article on French cuisine from The Upbeat Times:

After reading it, I wrote to the author:

Dear Chef Ron Skaar,

I read your article on the history of French cooking.  I never knew how French cuisine evolved.  Thank  you!

I think it's wonderful when there's a movement towards doing "more with less product," as you say in  your article--keeping dishes healthier and simpler. 

For that reason, I'm surprised you chose a recipe for steak! 

Would you consider giving a vegan recipe for the eggplant you mention in your article?

Even at COP 21, a conference for the environment, French chefs made it hard for vegetarians to find something to eat. 

It would be great for French chefs to continue to innovate and provide the healthier and simpler dishes you mention.

Lots of good wishes,

Tina Martin
