A French Kitchen Guide by Chef Eric Duvin

This French Kitchen Guide offers a thoughtful introduction to classic French cooking, rooted in technique, seasonality, and respect for ingredients.

 

Created by Chef Eric Duvin, it reflects the same approach taught at The Walnut Grove Cookery School — calm, hands-on, and grounded in tradition rather than trends.

 

Whether you cook regularly or are simply curious about how French cuisine is built, this guide is designed to give clarity, confidence, and context to what happens in the kitchen.

What You’ll Find Inside

The guide brings together recipes, technique, and culinary understanding to help you cook with greater intention and precision.

It includes five iconic French dishesFrench Onion Soup, Ratatouille, Duck Leg Confit, Sole Meunière, and Crêpe Suzette — each chosen to illustrate a fundamental principle of French cooking.

Alongside the recipes, the guide explores essential techniques, flavour and seasoning, and the role of traditional French copper cookware, offering practical insight grounded in professional experience.

The French Kitchen Guide is available as a digital publication to read and returned at your own pace.
