Located in the South of France, Provence is widely known for its rolling hills of lavender, vineyards of celebrated rosé, and aromatic clusters of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and tarragon (herbes de Provence). Yet there is an unpretentious and practical side to the region, and such values can be seen in its delicious cuisine. Zoé McLaughlin will show us that food that is hearty and honest can be elegant, and simple can seem special.

The star of this menu is bouillabaisse, a dish rooted in the history of Marseille fishermen, who made stews from leftover fish from the markets. Alongside this stew, you'll always find rouille, a thick, rich sauce that goes perfectly with fish! We'll end the meal with a sweet taste of a summer cherry clafoutis, a classic French dessert.
