Philadelphia: A Perfect French Bistro Meal at Bibou with Foie Gras, Bone Marrow, and More
Sometimes I think I'm over French bistro food, and then I eat at a place like this that reminds me what all the fuss is about.Serious Entertaining: Bistro Dinner at Home
Bistro fare is perfect for making at home. It's French comfort food that has all taste with minimal fuss. There's nothing like a freshly roasted chicken or a warm, gooey apple tarte tatin to make you want to uncork a bottle of wine with friends.

It's fascinating to see which spices and seasonings one cuisine adopts from another—but I'm more interested in those they leave behind. The answer to why some ingredients don't make the cut are often riddles of history, economics, and the whims of traders, merchants, and tastemakers. Which is an elaborate way of saying that I don't know why Americans haven't glommed on to orange blossom water while rose water and rose petals line more shelves and pastry counters. I'm just glad it's here now.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Vive la France!
