Publisher's Synopsis
Patricia Wells takes us on a gastronomique tour of the local food and the recipes she has been inspired to cook and create at Chanteduc - her lovingly restored farmhouse in Provence - where she has established the dream vineyard. Sharing with neighbours, merchants, friends and family a love of provencal cooking, Patricia Wells At Home in Provence celebrates a cuisine that is rich with textures, flavours, colours and aromas. From Curried Courgette Blossoms to Fig, Apricot & Walnut Raisin Rye Bread, from Gigot Provencal to Corsican Cheesecake, here is a rich feast of dishes for all occasions. Combined with it are Patricia Wells' hallmarks: quotes from well known chefs and foodies down the ages and tips on shortcuts, varieties of produce and marketing. Each recipe is underlined by her cooking philosophy to keep it fresh, keep it simple, respect the seasons and allow the integrity of an ingredient to shine through. Complete with recommended wines, this is the ultimate guide to Provencal cookery.
