The Provencal Table Book

Recreate the flavor and atmosphere of Provencal dining in exquisite detail, from tableware and linens to regional dishes. Gorgeous color photos throughout. Think of Provence and imagine long, leisurely meals in the shade of a tree at a table laid with jugs of flowers, brightly colored china and linens, and robust Mediterranean fare. Now this lovely book lets you bring the pleasures of Provence to your own table. It opens with a look at the china, glasses, pottery, and linens typically used; there are charming ideas for using these elements as well as finishing touches like candles, flowers, and crocks of fresh herbs. Provencal cuisine is instantly evocative of full, fresh, sun-ripened flavors, and a delectable collection of recipes includes onion and anchovy tarts, lamb with artichokes, garlic chicken, roasted summer vegetables, and apricot sorbet with lavender cookies.
