A gastronomic journey into the heart of France. As the crow flies Provence is not far from Paris. And yet the subways and trains to change left us bewildered. With four locomotives (two of them in the middle of the train) and railroad tracks precision-engineered with the same attention to detail as a French chef, TGV is so much faster than Amtrak! All settled in the TGV and the beautiful landscapes begin.
Green rolling fields with pine and olive trees, all moving fast,
Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
All of the sights of the hill and the plain
Fly as thick as driving rain;
(From a railway carriage by R.L Stevenson)
Provencal salad, anchovies, olive and tomato salad, artichoke paste, white bean salad with charmoula, and artichoke and shrimp with Romesco sauce is inspired by his colors and his passion.
