When you think of Paris, France, I am sure food is one of the first things that comes to mind. France is one of the best culinary playgrounds in the entire world. And of course it is not just about the food. France has some of the best wine and apple brandy in the world. One French dish that I do not think gets enough attention is the soufflé. In all of my trips to France, I do not think I have ever really sought out soufflé. But, for one of my latest trips to France, a friend said I could not leave without making a stop to Le Soufflé in Paris.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of eating a soufflé, it’s something definitely worth indulging in. Soufflé, comes from the French verb souffler and means to blow, breath, inflate or to puff. It is an egg-based dished combined with either savory or sweet ingredients and baked until it’s soft and fluffy. I will say that a good soufflé will taste exactly as I just described it. Looks can be deceiving, as it seems like it will be a heavy and dense meal. Once you sink your fork or spoon into the soufflé, you will be amazed at how it is so fluffy and light.
