Hardback. Condition: Good. Richard Olney - responsible for the legendary Time-Life cooking series as well as other cooking classics such as his wonderful Simple French Food (also published by Grub Street) -- moved to Provence in 1961 and had the good fortune to befriend Lulu and Lucien Peyraud, the owners of the noted Domaine Tempier vineyard in Provence, not far from Marseilles. Lulu's Provencal Table tantalizes the reader with Olney's descriptions of the regional food served as the vineyard meals at the Domaine. Then he lovingly transcribes Lulu's recipes. She has an empathy with and understanding of Provencal ingredients that is inspirational. There is succulent Pot-Roasted Leg of Lamb with Black Olives served with Courgette Gratin, and Potato and Sorrel Gratin, delicious with just six ingredients. There are plenty of simple recipes, but the recipe for bouillabaisse is a fascinating 10 pages long. Her 150 recipes read like a roll call of the best of Provence ̶ tapenade, anchoiade, brandade, pissaladiere, bagna cauda, sardines grillees, bouillabaisse, bourride, daurade au fenouil, daube, gigot a la ficelle and ratatouille. Starting with aperitifs and amuse-gueule and finishing up with fruit desserts, hers is classic French country cooking, featuring everyday ingredients cooked with respect for their nature and flavor. Having been described as 'a gastronomic love poem to France's most exhilarating region, ' this is an essential book for any serious food lover's library. Seller Inventory # CIN0060169222G

Lucien, her husband, is a renowned wine maker. With seven children, as many in~laws, and many more grandchildren, they own and operate the family vineyard~Domaine Tempier, near Bandol in the south of France. Lulu's Provençal Table bears witness to the remarkable food and spiritual warmth served throughout the year at this vineyard, nestled off the many well~trodden roads of Provence. Using the wine maker's year as his calendar, Richard Olney invites readers to the everyday meals and special celebrations that mark the seasons at Domaine Tempier. Christmas Eve supper is traditionally celebrated at midday at the domaine with such family favorites as Tapenade, Brandade in Puff Pastry Cases, and Roast Guinea Fowl. In the spring, when the wild thyme is in full bloom, François roasts lamb on the outdoor spit. Bagna Cauda and Grilled Sardines are served with cool red wine while the family waits for the lamb to cook. In the summer Lulu shows Olney how to prepare her luscious Bouillabaisse. And on the last day of the harvest, family, friends, cellar workers, and grape pickers gather for the joyous and abundant pickers' meal, which is eaten amid the vats of fermenting wine. As a close friend of Richard Olney, Lulu opens up to him and the reader, revealing not only her expertise with French food, but also her personality and her family's fascinating history. Amid recipes for such classics as Grand Aïoli and Pot~au~feu, we learn about Lulu's raising the children during the war (when the family ate mainly Jerusalem artichokes), about Lulu and Lucien's worldwide travels, and about the many celebrations that Lulu hosts for friends and family at the domaine year round. Other recipes, such as those for Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Tapenade, Duck with Olives, Zucchini Gratin, and Walnut Gâteau, display the culinary expertise and easy manner that are Lulu's trademarks and will seduce the reader with their facility and their succulence. Lulu's Provençal Table, with its robust recipes, graceful prose, and vibrant photographs, is a book to savor. Seller Inventory # 11172301
