“This is a charming introduction to the South of France and excellent reading companion to Peter Mayle’s now-classics like A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence.”—BOOKLIST

Join me as I celebrate Provence in ADVENTURES ON LAND AND SEA: Searching for Culinary Pleasures in Provence and the Cote d’Azur, Book Four of my culinary-travel series, Savoring the Olde Ways. In this book, I take you by the hand on a quest to find the real Provençe. During three separate excursions—from Nice to Nîmes, Moustiers to Marseilles, and San Tropez to San Remy—I invite you to come along (and sail along) as I uncover the mysteries of Provençal customs, traditions, and ancient cooking. Never a ‘how to’ book; more of a fun, often funny book, revealing my ‘stumblings’ through the French language as I discover the real treasures of the South of France: Provençe.
