Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Black olive and dried fig spread

    • Roddyknit on May 22, 2011

      This unlikely combination is very popular with my family; great for picnics and gatherings.

  • Balsamic vinaigrette

    • sturlington on March 26, 2013

      I typically find balsamic vinaigrettes too strong-tasting, so I appreciated this recipe's use of sherry vinegar to balance out the balsamic. Good on roasted cherry tomatoes.

  • Potatoes from the Mas Haut

    • sturlington on April 28, 2013

      Basic roasted potatoes. I'm finding that par-boiling potatoes before roasting or grilling almost always results in a better end product.

Publishers Text

2005 James Beard Award Winner! - International

Provence is a region known for its vineyards and markets and is a delight for culinary adventurers. Patricia Wells, author of seven French cookbooks, including The Paris Cookbook and Bistro Cooking, has lived in France for twenty years, dividing her time between Paris and Provence. Wells now calls Provence home and The Provence Cookbook is an intimate guide to the culinary pleasures of the region.


With more than 200 recipes and 92 black and white photographs, it evokes the atmosphere, tastes, and sights of this surpassingly lush, bountiful area. Also included are a guide to local markets, profiles of farmers and vendors, visits to Provence's lively vineyards, and recommendations for food shops and purveyors as well as restaurants.
