Caroline Rimbert Craig’s love story with the food and flavors of Southern France is shared through over 100 simple recipes passed to her from generations of family who have farmed, foraged, and cooked there.

Provence is the fruit and vegetable garden of France, where much of its most beautiful produce is grown. These ingredients, combined with Provence’s unique identity, position, and history have resulted in a cuisine full of heart, balance, and soul—a cuisine that showcases its peoples’ reverence for the produce, the changing seasons, and the land.

Caroline Rimbert Craig’s maternal family comes from the southern foothills of Mont Ventoux, where the sun beats hard and dry, but aromatic herbs, vines, and fruit trees prosper. This is her guide to cooking the Provençale way, for those who want to eat simply but well, who love to cook dishes that rhyme with the seasons, and who want to recreate the flavors of the Mediterranean at home, wherever that may be.

With stunning color photographs to accompany the recipes, the book is also interspersed with shots of Provence’s beautiful landscapes, reflecting the region’s rich culinary culture.

Caroline Rimbert Craig hails from generations of fruit farmers in Provence, where her great grandfather co-founded the wine cooperative in her family’s native village, Mormoiron. She was educated at the French Lycée in London and studied anthropology at university. She has an instinctive approach to Provençal ingredients and flavors, inherited from her French family. Caroline is co-author of The Little Book of Lunch, The Cornershop Cookbook, and The Little Book of Brunch. She writes the lunchbox column for the Guardian newspaper with Sophie Missing.
