French 75 Cocktail
The origins of the French 75 Cocktail date back to 1915 at a Parisian bar, where its unique blend of Champagne, gin, lemon juice, and sugar first came together.

Curried Chicken Liver Pâté
As I approached my 30th birthday, I had yet to experience the rich flavors of Chicken Liver Pâté.

A mother-daughter duo from the United States, with the daughter having called Paris home and her mother embarking on a visit, had unwittingly introduced me to this French delicacy.
The Perfect Manhattan Cocktail
The origins of the Manhattan cocktail are shrouded in mystery, but one popular theory suggests that it was born on the island of Manhattan itself in 1874.
