Some of my favorite Provencal recipes can be found in “Lunch in Provence“ by the great French chef Jean-Andre Charial and noted photographer Rachael McKenna. A Michelin 3-star chef-owner renowned for his famed restaurant L’Oustau de Baumanière [a mere 45 minutes from my former home], Chef Charial believes that the food you make can only be as good as the ingredients. Butter and cheeses from nearby dairies. Seasonal fruits and vegetables picked straight from the garden. Locally sourced meats and bread. A feast for the senses, his recipes rely on only the freshest ingredients and leave no question as to why Provencal cuisine is celebrated around the world.

“Lunch in Provence so clearly conveys that the ritual experience is all about friends, fresh ingredi ents, sun, sky and moments that build memories.”

What better way to launch this tribute to the South of France than our cover house, Villa Nuits in Irvington—a historic villa that would feel right at home on the Côte D’Azur! And while we all can’t visit the South of France in August; the following Private Brokerage listings offer equally captivating settings for your culinary delights.
For many years I experienced la vie en Provence and spent many happy summers enjoying the magical landscape, the charming villages, and the wonderfully relaxed lifestyle that has made the region so beloved. When August comes around, I especially miss those days. So, I decided to bring a touch of Provence home by immersing myself in the inspired cuisine that made my time there so memorable.
