Celebrating our French heritage: How to create a taste of France in your kitchen

France and the French culture are revered the world over, drawing tens of millions of visitors each year to enjoy famous attractions including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Moulin Rouge.

But if there’s one thing that stands out above all others when we think of France, it’s a culture of delicious food and wine. Croissants, baguettes, crepes, crème brulee, quiche, escargot, coq au vin and cassoulet are just some of the iconic foods and dishes that have helped take French cuisine to every corner of the globe.

France also boasts Bordeaux wines, exquisite champagnes and the most Michelin Star restaurants in the world. So perhaps it is no surprise that the home of ‘gastronomie’ (or the art of good eating), where every meal is a celebration, is also the birthplace of Tefal.

Over 65 years ago, a French engineer named Marc Gregoire invented the non-stick frypan to help his wife cook eggs without them sticking to the pan. This invention started a cookware revolution, and a culture of continuous innovation and stylish design was born

Today, we continue that legacy to produce cookware, kitchen appliances and garment care products to help you bring the most out of your everyday.

At Tefal, we are proud of our French heritage, and we are passionate about bringing a taste of France to kitchens all over the world, with products that help make it easy to prepare delicious meals that you can enjoy with family and friends.

Get a taste of France at home with these Tefal products, matched with delicious French-inspired recipes you can prepare in your kitchen with ease.
