This cooking is perfumed with fragrances coming from the hills (thyme, oregano, sarriette, rosemary, fennel and farigoulette), garlic, olive oil, basil, onion which embellish the vegetables gorged with sun: tomatos, courgettes, aubergines, sweet peppers... to eat with sea food, lamb or game. We can mention the Soupe au Pistou (basil soup), the Daube Provençale (stew), the Pieds-paquets Marseillais (cooked meat), the Aïoli (garlic mayonnaise)...Washed down with some wine from the hillsides of Aix en Provence, these provencal meals have seduced the most difficult palates.
