Wild Provence:Savor the Lives and Flavors of France's Cowboys of the Camargue.Wild Provence:Savor the Lives and Flavors of France’s Cowboys of the Camargue
You know American cowboys by heart: the land, the clothes, the work, and even the food. But sweep across the Atlantic into Provence and you discover an ancient place where cowboys work among pink flamingos, a broad marsh where white horses dance with black bulls, where the air is pervaded by sea salt and lavender. Here the earthy, rustic food reflects more than the land and the sea, it mirrors a way of life. This lifestyle book - with 39 elegant pages of black and white photographs - paints the landscape, explores the history and introduces the cowboys, their horses and bulls; and then zooms in until you find yourself sitting at the table to experience the food.
