A fresh and beautiful photographic celebration of romantic
Provence, featuring thirty-five Mediterranean lunchtime recipes
from a Michelin three-star chef. Lunch in Provence is a richly
evocative blend of photographs, recipes, and literary and
historical citations inspired by the beauty and unparalleled
culinary tradition of Provence. Best-selling author and
photographer Rachael McKenna trains her lens on the landscape,
people, and food of one of the world’s most beloved travel
destinations. Thirty-five recipes from chef Jean-André Charial
feature classic Proven?al recipes alongside modern offerings from
his award-winning restaurant Oustau de Baumanière. From fortified
medieval villages perched atop a mountain to wide sweeps of dappled
waves below, from tidy rows of lavender and grapevines to pyramids
of fresh produce and spices in the market, from flaky grilled sea
bass with fresh ratatouille to racks of lamb in an herb crust with
crisp asparagus, and from hazelnut clafoutis with cherries and
raspberries to lemon tarts, all the sights and delights of Provence
are extolled in their finest sun-soaked glory. Renowned food
critic, author, and cooking-school chef Patricia Wells offers a
very personal introduction drawn from years of visiting and living
in Provence, where she revels in the fresh ingredients,
dramatically beautiful landscape, lively local characters, and
enviable languorous lifestyle.
