The French Canon
One thousand and thirty-three entries
Auvergne
Twenty-four entries
The Auvergne's volcanic terroir — the geological foundation the entries name first — gives the region its pastures, its cheeses, and the conditions under which its cured meats, pulses, and one-pot preparations were built. The section moves from that foundation through the cheeses in their canonical order, then into charcuterie and offal, the great soups and assembled dishes, the festive pies and stuffed preparations, and finally the confections and desserts that close the mountain table.
