Shallots are not just used in French cooking, countries in South East Asia use them in their cuisines - Thailand, Malaysia (where I'm from), Indonesia, Philippines... they're more delicate in taste than the regular big onions. I use them instead of regular onions. 2-3 medium sized shallots are plenty for most recipes.
