GASTRONOMY
The
traditional cuisine of Provence is characterised by the use of garlic, olives
and herbs of Provence. It is both simple and healthy, as in the example :
The `pan bagnat`, a sandwich of rawonions, tomatoes, lettuce and anchovies
in olive oil. The `pissaladière`, an onion tart seasoned with purée
of anchovies et black olives. The `pizza`, known worldwide.The `ratatouille,
a stew of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and courgettes cooked in oil. The
`farcis`, tomatoes, peppers, onionsthe centres of which are scooped out
and filled with stuffing.All those vegetables often are served with :`L`agneau
de montagne`(mountain lamb), together with wine from the vines cultivated
on the hills of Nice. Goats cheeses and the`tourta de bléa`(pie of
chard and pine nuts) Such will pleasantly round off your meal.
You will be able to taste at your leisure these dishes carefully cooked in the
old bread oven during your stay, as well as the bread and the breakfast breads
(brioches,
croissants etc.) which come out warm from the oven every morning thanks to Grégoire.
