+French Winter Dishes
+French cuisine offers a variety of hearty and comforting dishes perfect for the winter season. French winter dishes tend to include a lot of cheese, heavy sauces, meat, and potatoes, everything that promises to warm up the insides.

+  * **Pot au Feu**: Pot au feu is a traditional French dish including meat, vegetables and herbs all cooked together in a nourishing stew. The name “pot au feu” in French means “pot on fire”, and as you can imagine, the recipe dates back centuries.
