The world can learn how to eat from the French. They are renowned for understanding the food around them, seasonality and providing for lean times during the time of plenty. Old-fashioned food preservation methods are still utilised in every epicerie and food market across France.

Overworked French housewives carry in their DNA the knowledge of how to throw a dinner party at the drop of a hat, without so much as going near a butcher. They trust the traditionally cooked contents of beautiful glass jars and tin cans to deliver top quality ingredients onto the dinner plate, while preparing the remaining dishes from impeccable ingredients found in every local market and French epicerie.

Giving food retail in London a new shake-up, Foodcraft Solutions has created a new retro French food concept shop and sourced French gastronomic ready meals as an ambient retail range sans preservatives.
