Maillard delicacies at "French House"
How would one begin an autumnal French Maillard feast? You can find the answer at the French House. A Provence-style food market has recently opened on Jinxian Road in Shanghai as part of the French House's pop-up French-style workshop, which offers various experiences using French ingredients.

The Maillard-colored sausage is a good autumn snack.
You may find the recipes and workshop details on their website "Taste France." They have suggested a number of French-style dishes for this autumn in line with the Maillard trend.
Aoste saucisson is a traditional French food. The word "saucisson" comes from the French word "dry sausage," which is made mostly of fatback or belly meat to fill in the spaces created by leaner, harder hog parts like leg or shank flesh. After being crushed together, it is seasoned with salt, sugar, local spices, and occasionally garlic. Because of the fermentation process, the saucisson has a delicate chew and a white, sticky surface.
Yabon's French Semolina Cake, which has more than 70 percent milk, has a gorgeous sun-set tint. Semolina, which is really just a kind of flour manufactured from durum wheat, is somewhat coarser than regular flour and, when baked, can take on a darker, more golden hue.
