français term

cuisine du marché

français vers anglais Autre Cuisine / culinaire
Is there a specific English term for "cuisine du marché"? The term is used to describe a type of cuisine (restaurant category). From what I know, it refers to cooking with only the freshest ingredients, but that seems rather vague to me.

Also, would you have a reference to suggest for culinary translations (menus, etc.)?

Many thanks!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Claire Nolan, writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Re yr. comment on "fresh" One varient of the German concept is "Marktfrischküche" - just for the record.
emiledgar Jul 30, 2010:
In the US they're called "farmers' markets" since the market is the supermarket.
B D Finch Jul 28, 2010:
Cultural context Unfortunately, markets have different connotations in different contexts. In London fruit and veg direct from Covent Garden market was absolutely fresh as that was a wholesale market. However from e.g. Berwick St. market (to name a market that I knew well) it might be well past its best. Though Britain now has "French farmers' markets", at least in the London area, other market produce is generally cheap rather than good.
Parrot Jul 27, 2010:
market cuisine simply means there's no fixed all-year-round menu and the chef doesn't bend over backwards to follow recipes. He cooks based on the ingredients of the season and what comes to him fresh from the market. (Sp. "cocina de mercado" & D. "Marktküche").
Imanol Jul 27, 2010:
There seems to be a confusion here between "cuisine du marché" and "cuisine du terroir à base de produits frais"
philgoddard Jul 27, 2010:
In that case, if it's a French restaurant, you could always leave it in French (perhaps in italics) as (a) it sounds better and (b) most people will be able to work out fairly easily what it means.

More context Hi all,

I didn't have much more context, as it is used mainly as a category, but here is a sentence if that can be helpful:

"La spécialité du chef est la cuisine du marché, fortement axée sur les produits régionaux les plus frais. "
Desdemone (X) Jul 27, 2010:
Sorry, meant to add, the idea is that ingredients are seasonal and fresh (implying local).
Desdemone (X) Jul 27, 2010:
Have you looked online? I found a column by Mark Bittman (NYTimes food writer):

philgoddard Jul 27, 2010:
Can we have some context please - it's difficult to suggest anything otherwise.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Many thanks, everybody! I ended up using "market cuisine" (rather than market-fresh or fresh-market) since I needed a clear category term and was using the word "fresh" in the definition. Will keep the other options in mind for different contexts, however. Thanks again!"

While I will probably go with the short "market cuisine" version, your go-montreal.com reference sealed it for me, as this is a Montréal-based text. Thank you!
