Beautiful presentation featuring simple, classic recipes that are authentic, yet don't require exotic ingredients. Because of their simplicity, the recipes require the freshest of ingredients. They are inherently healthy and balanced. In the two days I've had the cookbook, I've made three recipes. Each beautiful! I can easily envision cooking my way through the entire book. Wonderful introductions to each recipe, describing its origins and/or significance to Wells. Fantastic wine recommendations Beautiful presentation featuring simple, classic recipes that are authentic, yet don't require exotic ingredients.

So, true confession: The Provençal Cookbook features recipes from my most cherished spot on the planet; I'm predisposed to love anything Provençal. But Wells has captured its magic without playing on cliches or trivializing traditions.

I cook her Madelines recipe for parties many times each year and they are always a huge hit. This is a great example of a cookbook created out of a passion and love for the food of a region with easy to follow and very modern recipes.
