About the book: The charms of le sud are many. The food culture is vibrant and season-focused; the tables are welcoming and convivial. In Le Sud, Rebekah Peppler distills these flavors, techniques, and spirit of the South of France into a never-before-seen collection of recipes, photographs, and stories. Transporting photography expands our visual understanding of Provence outside solely lavender fields and endless summer holidays to showcase the geographically and culturally diverse region and its tables. As in À Table—her inspiring cookbook about dining the French way—Peppler’s recipes drip in home cook equity.

Interwoven alongside the recipes and photography are fun, informative sidebars that reflect this perspective of eating and drinking in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and provide an inspiring, approachable guide to the south of France. Sidebars elevate a reader’s knowledge of southeastern French cooking and eating, from the wines of the region to after-dinner drinking to the (modern) Provençal cheese plate.

Rebekah Peppler is the author of À Table and the James Beard Award–nominated Apéritif, and is a frequent New York Times contributor. Her recipes and food and travel writing have appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and elsewhere. When she’s not working, you can find her cooking, eating, and drinking in the 18th arrondissement, where she lives with her partner.
