Fresh Fare Travels to Provence, France

We invite you to join us, as Fresh Fare travels to Provence, situated in the south of France. Provence in spring is equal to Aspen in winter. Like the flora cresting through the earths crust to meet the sun and welcome in a new season, there is the anticipation and excitement of new fresh flavors as we embrace spring. The flavors of this region are all about freshness, the cooking style being simple and straight forward. Spring lamb, artichokes, thyme, lavender, honey, and tarragon define the region.
