"We have had a perfectly wonderful time with you, learning many recipes.
You made it so very easy to breakdown what we initially thought were complicated recipes, but to our great joy & surprise, extremely easy & beautiful to look at. A plus of course is that we did not gain any weight! I think it is the terrific wines we drank! You are very personally lovely people, so patient & forthcoming with tricks of the trade." (Johanna & George B., CA., USA)

A cuisine is all of a terrain and its whole past
.
And that of Provence lies deep in antiquity. Hellenized first in the 6th century B.C., then Romanized toward the end of the year 1 B.C.,Provence drew inspiration from highly refined
and vigorously seasoned Greco-Roman dishes.
On her coast, the scent of a tuft of thyme, the sun on the sea, the chant of the cicadas,
all become part of a fragrant bouillabaisse, an aioli - that incomparable golden pomade, a “loup de mer” (sea bass) broiled with fennel on vine embers,
a celery and green apple mousse-purée or an all-star magnificent pesto soup.
