Coq au Vin is a rustic French dish that transforms humble ingredients into something truly comforting and elegant. Chicken is braised slowly in red wine with mushrooms, pearl onions, garlic, herbs, and smoky bacon until meltingly tender. Traditionally made with rooster (coq), modern versions use chicken thighs or a whole cut-up bird for ease and richness.
Beef Bourguignon is a classic French stew from Burgundy that transforms humble ingredients, beef, red wine, onions, mushrooms, and bacon, into something deeply luxurious.

It’s the essence of rustic French cooking, bold, earthy, and elegant.
