Culinary Travels brings you the discovery of a country or region through its gastronomy. Chefs constanty work with ingredients from their local area, inspired by traditional recipes, to create dishes based on their intutions. The roots of place and the soul of their culinary culture always shine through.
The Culinary Travels collection also sketches whole countries, with well-chosen touches throughout the pages bringing out a larger picture. Themes are linked to food, but also more largely to way of life, and all that which makes up a culture.
Here, Xavier Mathieu and Serge Alvarez guide you on a journey through Provence, in the heart of the region that is emblematic of the south of France. They cover whole worlds, from Cézanne to fishing in the Mediterranean, from traditional homes to delicious candied fruit, which give life in this region such a very special flavour.
