Home-made dishes to be highlighted
Print Edition
RESTAURANT-GOERS in France will start seeing a funny little symbol on their menus this week: a skillet with a house on top, indicating your menu choice is made in-house.
It’s part of a new law meant to battle against the surprising amount of factory-made, pre-packaged food in French restaurants, and celebrate the country’s culinary traditions.
However, many in the industry say the law doesn’t go far enough, because it allows dishes made from frozen, pre-peeled or pre-cut products to count as home-made.
France’s chief of consumer affairs, Carole Delga, said that the logo would better inform customers about what they’re getting, and highlight restaurants’ craftsmanship.
“It’s about sending a message that France is a country where we eat well, where we have skills, especially cooking skills,” she said.
“We wanted to give concrete tools for tourists and for French people, and recognize cooking as an integral part of our French identity,” Delga said.
“It’s really not very serious. I thought it would be more rigorous and precise,” said Alain Dutournier, cook and spokesman for the Culinary College of France. “Once again they are choosing to serve the interest of the food-processing industry.”
