This bouillabaisse is fragrant with saffron, fennel, tomato, and citrus, with a clear but richly flavored broth supporting tender sea bass, sweet shrimp, and briny mussels. The fiery-golden rouille and crisp toasted baguette turn it into a dramatic, deeply satisfying seafood feast.

This ratatouille is tender, aromatic, and richly concentrated, with layers of zucchini, eggplant, and tomato baked over a savoury pepper-onion base. Herbs de Provence and basil give it the sun-soaked fragrance of southern France, while roasting deepens the sweetness of the vegetables.

Soupe au Pistou is a light yet satisfying Provençal vegetable soup filled with tender white beans, small pasta, and neatly diced vegetables in a fragrant broth. A fresh basil and garlic pistou stirred in at the end gives the soup its vivid aroma and unmistakably sunny character.
