    Default Favorite South of France Recipes???

    I'm looking for some great, French recipes that are from the Provence and Côte d'Azur region. Does anyone have some family favorites?

    What about fish in paper?
    https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...recipe-1949152

    I recently did this one:
    https://balance.media/recipe-oven-baked-fish/
    As directed maybe this is just more Mediterranean?? Could use herbs de provence maybe??
    Had to make a few changes for American appliances, didn't have any wine so used fresh lemon juice, and I think my fish fillets were significantly thicker -- basically I had one fish fillet cut in sections instead of 6-8 pieces of thin sole. Around 350 oven and 45 minutes is what I ended up with.
    The biggy is that I had all ingredients on hand (ok, I did go to the store and get fresh parsley and lemon) and it was quick and easy and is a fun presentation with minimal clean-up.

    I used two precut/commercial sheets of parchment paper and had zero leakage, but I did cook in a pan.

    We are going to try this in the weber grill this summer -- we've done pizza so should be able to handle not burning through the parchment.

    Here's a recipe from Martha for Cassoulet, which is from SW France:

    There's a million variations of this dish. I'm making one today with chicken breast and Field Roast Italian sausage. I also like to add a little wine to mine.

    Hi.
    I love Daube Provencal.
    This is one of the best beef stews you can make. It's dark, rich and jammed full of flavor. The recipe is easy to adapt to a slow cooker, too.

    My daughter went on a tour of France after high school. I asked her about the food she ate thinking of all the delicious dishes made by Julia Child . She said oh the normal, pizza, hamburgers, chicken and they had the cutest jelly jars on every table and everyone ate jelly with everything.. I think that trip should have happened after college. LOL

    We took the kids to Paris when they were teens. My older son refused to eat French food and hung out at the local McDonald's the whole time. My younger Dau, the foodie, loved French food, especially the cheeses.

    I bought the beef to make this tomorrow night as a treat. We don't eat much red meat, but this sounded so good...thanks!
