Traditional French Vegetarian Recipes

When you think of French cooking, you probably think of steak frites, frog legs, or broiled chickens. You also probably think of a cuisine that does not typically offer many choices when it comes to vegetarian-friendly fare. However, with these French vegetarian recipes, you'll be dreaming of traveling to Paris and enjoying a gourmet meal at a local French bistro.

One type of food that has dozens of variations of French vegetarian recipes is the crepe. While you might think of a crepe as being served only for dessert, you can actually make delicious savory crepes as your main course. Crepes are easy to make, especially if you have a crepe pan or an omelet pan. Otherwise, a small skillet will work, too. All crepes start out with similar recipes. Mix together some flour, baking powder, and salt, and then beat in some eggs, milk, and water. Add a small amount to a hot skillet that you have sprayed with a little bit of cooking spray, and quickly swirl the pan around so the batter spreads out thinly across the whole pan. After the bottom turns brown-less than a minute-flip the crepe and cook the other side. You can make a bunch of these at one time and just stack them on a plate until you are ready to build your dinner crepes.
