Don't know where you heard that but "never excessive amount of fat" is
not a fair description of traditional French cooking, which often
features copious amounts of butter. The balance of protein, carbs and
fat for an entire meal is up to you, the menu designer. That said, 4
well-known chefs including Jacques Pepin published a low-fat approach
to French cooking which you can find descriptions of through Google.
It's called "French Culinary Institute's Salute to Healthy Cooking".
It's organized around full meals rather than individual recipes so it
might be close to what you're looking for. -aem
