Paris to Provence is a culinary travelogue of separate summers spent in France, interweaving a collection of simple recipes with evocative memories and stories of those years.
Ethel and Sara beguile you with recipes and stories from their summer childhoods as they travelled with their respective families from Paris to Provence. In markets, cafés, truck stops, bakeries, bistros, and French family homes, the girls experienced their first taste of France, re-created here through recipes, stories, and photographs.
Inspired by her memories of truck stop lunches sitting next to tables of grizzled truckers, Ethel gives us Steak au Poivre à la Sauce aux Morilles (pepper steak with morels). Sara's whimsical game of using her asparagus as soldiers' spears to guard her food from her sister de ella is the source of her recipe de ella for Les Soldats(soft-boiled eggs and fresh asparagus spears). Lingering over late-night dinners with grown-ups and listening in on their stories of the resistance and wild boar hunts inspired Ethel's recipe for Fraises au Vin Rouge (strawberries in red wine syrup). Ella's Rosemary and its powerful scent, first discovered by Sara while hiking with her family de Ella in the Luberon Mountains in the south of France, infuses her recipe for Cotes d'Agneau Grillées au Romarin (grilled lamb chops with rosemary). From Îles Flottantes (poached meringues in crème anglaise) to Escargots (snails in garlic butter), and from Merguez (spicy grilled lamb sausage patties) to Ratatouille(summer vegetable stew), each recipe reflects Sara and Ethel's childhood experiences in Paris and Provence. Sixty thoughtful, simple, and traditionally French dishes complemented by over one hundred luscious photographs will send you to your kitchen, and maybe even to France.
