Come Savor Provence with Me 🇫🇷

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read • Travel Blogs

My kitchen may be where recipes come to life, but travel is where so many of them begin. Here's my latest adventure filled with incredible food, beautiful places, and the moments that inspired me along the way.

Come savor Provence with me!

I finally put my Provence memories into words!

From lavender fields and village markets to cooking classes, unforgettable meals and plenty of rosé, this trip was as much about culinary inspiration as it was about exploring one of France's most beautiful regions.

In my latest Food & Wine Travel Journal, I'm sharing the places, meals and little moments that made my trip so memorable. If you've ever dreamed of slowing down in Provence with a glass of rosé in hand, this one's for you!

Travel Takeaway

Not every memorable meal needs to be elaborate

One of my favorite bites in Provence was a simple vegetarian Le Provençal sandwich. It reminded me that you don't need an elaborate tasting menu to experience the character of a place. Sometimes the most memorable food is simply the food people actually eat every day.

If you visit any of the places I recommend, I’d love to see it!
