Join Bold Fork Books for a magical night of conversation, librations & bites to celebrate Rebekah Peppler and LE SUD: RECIPES FROM PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D'AZUR.

We'll hear from Rebekah about the process of writing her book and how she gives home cooks the tools they need to recreate the magic of a Provençal evening anywhere in the world.

ABOUT LE SUD

The charms of LE SUD are many. The food culture is vibrant and season-focused; the tables are welcoming and convivial. In this book, James Beard Book Award finalist Rebekah Peppler distills these flavors, techniques, and spirit of the South of France into a never-before-seen collection of recipes, photographs, and stories.

The region—and its many culinary viewpoints—spans from the snowcapped Southern Alps in the north to the French Mediterranean in the south, the Rhône River to the west, and Italy along its eastern border. And like many regions where landscapes and people happily crash into each other, the food is dynamic and exciting. Here are recipes—from drinks to savory to sweet—that capture the modern tables and life lived around them in the south of France today.

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. As in À Table—her inspiring cookbook about dining the French way—Peppler’s recipes drip in home cook equity.
