Overview
The scents of freshly cut lemons, wild thyme, simmering tomatoes, dried mushrooms, garlic beginning to sizzle in olive oil -- evocations of a way of life and of cooking -- are the smells of any kitchen in southern France. Much of the terroir itself is a wild rock garden of thyme, rosemary, and bay. Peach orchards stripe the countryside with shocking pink flowers, ducks and geese plume themselves under walnut trees, sunflowers stretch away to the horizon, and olive trees silver the landscape. It is said that you should never live far from an olive tree, but since most of us must, you can at least bring back for a moment the lovely warmth of this favored climate by cooking authentic southern French dishes in your kitchen. Over 120 recipes present the nuances across southern France from Bordeaux to Nice, via the Dordogne to the east and south, the Landes on the Atlantic coast, the Pays Basque, Catalonia and the Mediterranean, the wine country of the Languedoc, and ending up in Provence and the Cote d'Azur. The richness of the region's fresh ingredients reminds the cook in all of us why we love France and just how much its food influences our mood. Caroline Conran moves us away from the regime of self-denial, into an appreciation for preparing and feasting on comfort foods. From soups to poultry, breads to desserts, the regional recipes include Basque Green Peppers with Chorizo, Tuna Steaks with Roasted Tomato and Onion from Provence, Navy Bean and Sausage Casserole from Gascony, and Tender Walnut Tart from Lot. This is la cuisine du terroir, simple food, combining fresh ingredients in a harmonious way, as delicious and wholesome as Italian food and more satisfying. With the renewal of French cuisine as healthy and light, pioneered by Michel Guerard and Alain Ducasse, Caroline's timely and welcome collection of sun-inspired recipes shares the delight of southern French cooking. The specially commissioned local photography of regions, kitchens, markets, ingredients, and dishes by renowned photographer Gilles de Chabaneix accompanies these uncomplicated recipes prepared by Caroline and her friends in the south of France.
