Guide to French Desserts
France is renowned for their baking; their ability to make butter, sugar and chocolate our best friends rather than enemies - at least in the moment. For centuries France has set the bar for haut cuisine, with desserts being no exception. Some of the most famous bakers through history, especially modern days, have come from France, whether born and raised or through studying and training. Even non French bakers incorporate French techniques and recipes into their own baking to create a modified version of a famous French staple.
Of course, some of the most famous desserts to come from France do not originate there, but despite their history, they have become signature French staples that people around the world flock to try.
Below is a guide to some of the most famous and/or delicious French desserts to try, with regional specialties included.
