My friend Valentin is writing Brotherly Games, including descriptions of the fantastic French cuisine. As an added bonus, here is the first recipe you can make on your own in order to get more into the feel of the story. You can follow Valentin here. From chapter 10:
Mustard Chicken
-1- A la cocotte, tu fais revenir tes cuisses de poulet salées et poivrées sur un beau lit d'oignons que tu fait cuire un peu avant jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient translucides.
-2- tu peux rajouter quelques carottes que tu transformes en tagliatelles avec un économe. Voire des champignons. Ensuite tu mets une bonne quantité de moutarde (environ quatre cuillères à soupe ). Tu fais un peu revenir, et tu couvres d'eau en laissant apparaître les cuisses comme des îlots( si tu as un peu de cidre ou de vin blanc, tu peux en mettre aussi). Tu laisses cuire a feu moyen 45'. Attention que ça n'attache pas, sache rajouter un peu d'eau au besoin, sans faire une soupe.. Ne sale pas trop à cause de la moutarde... Rejoute un peu de crème fraiche en touche finale...
