Paris to Provence is a culinary travelogue of separate summers spent in France, interweaving a collection of simple recipes with evocative memories and stories of those years.This beautiful mmoire will beguile everyone who loves France and should be essential reading for anyone going there for the first time. Ethel and Sara have captured a beloved place through the rosy, whimsical, wacky, tender, and honest lens of childhood. Forget three-star dining and luxury travel; this is the France that I love and remember with pleasure. The recipes are simple and soul satisfyingfrom caf fare and home cooking to street food and a village feast. I was enchanted with the evocative photos and charmed by every memory.Alice Medrich, author of Sinfully Easy Delicious DessertsTo read Paris to Provence is to take a beautiful and wonderfully nostalgic journey to the France of my childhood, the France of sweet dreams. If youve ever had your soul captured by the magic that exists in the lighter side of la France profonde, and if you have a sensitivity toward joyful moments created around food, family, and friends, then Paris to Provence is for you. Its a lovely book filled with classic and simple yet delicious French recipes. Somebody needs to open a restaurant here in the United States that uses this book to inspire its menu. Id eat there at least once a week!William Widmaier, author of A Feast at the BeachEthel and Sara beguile you with recipes and stories from their summer childhoods as they traveled with their respective families from Paris to Provence. In markets, cafs, truck stops, bakeries, bistros, and French family homes, the girls experienced their first taste of France, re-created here through recipes, stories, and photographs.Inspired by her memories of truck stop lunches sitting next to tables of grizzled truckers, Ethel gives us Steak au Poivre la Sauce aux Morilles (pepper steak with morels). Saras whimsical game of using her asparagus as soldiers spears to guard her food from her sister is the source of her recipe for Les Soldats (soft-boiled eggs and fresh asparagus spears). Lingering over late-night dinners with grown-ups and listening in on their stories of the resistance and wild boar hunts inspired Ethels recipe for Fraises au Vin Rouge (strawberries in red wine syrup). Rosemary and its powerful scent, first discovered by Sara while hiking with her family in the Luberon Mountains in the south of France, infuses her recipe for Cotes dAgneau Grilles au Romarin (grilled lamb chops with rosemary). From les Flottantes (poached meringues in crme anglaise) to Escargots (snails in garlic butter), and from Merguez (spicy grilled lamb sausage patties) to Ratatouille (summer vegetable stew), each recipe reflects Sara and Ethels childhood experiences in Paris and Provence. Sixty thoughtful, simple, and traditionally French dishes complemented by over one hundred luscious photographs will send you to your kitchen, and maybe even to France.

acknowledgments

Thank you to my husband, Laurent, who supports me with enthusiasm at every turn. I must thank my children, Oscar and Raphael, who are equally as enthusiastic as their father and whose faces grace the pages of this book, their childhood summers echoing my own. Thank you to my mother and father, Georgeanne Brennan and Donald Brennan, who carted me around the world throughout my childhood. And to my brother, Oliver Brennan, who shared so many crazy adventures with me during those childhood years. Thank you to my stepfather, Jim Schrupp, who first read this manuscript with a loving and critical eye. Thank you to my dear friend and co-author, Sara Remington, whose talent and creativity inspires me in countless ways.

Ethel

Thank you to my sister, Jennifer Remington, who fondly shares my French memories, which wouldnt be the same without her. Im so happy I had a partner in these adventures; nothing can replace the sisterly fun, laughter, long drives, and car fights. To Dan Fisher, my life love, my future husband. Thank you for always giving me the support and laughter that I need, and loving me for who I am and what I do. I adore you.

Thank you to Ethel Brennan; I couldnt ask for a better writing partner and friend throughout this whole process. Not only were you so much fun to be around, but your energy, initiative, and drive were inspiring. Your knowledge and talent is incredible. And youre a supermom. You get things DONE.

Very deepest thanks to Georgeanne Brennan, as this book would not exist without you either. You mean to Ethel what my parents mean to me, and you created a beautiful, colorful, delicious life for your family in France. Your help and guidance with the recipes and memories was invaluable, and you so generously opened your doors to me in France with endless positive thinking, and a special thanks to your husband, Jim Schrupp, who meticulously read over our manuscript, our first copy editor.

A big thank-you to Steve Block, who gave me wonderful support with my film processingsomething that is becoming a lost art. A very special thank-you to my friends Gia Canali, Matt McManus, and Tom Santosusso, I love you guys! You were all so supportive throughout this process, and thank you for lending me some of the best, drool-worthy cameras I have laid my eyes and hands on, specifically that pass-out-gorgeous M6 Leica with the 50mm f1 lens.

Lastly, thank you, thank you, thank you to all the French family friends of my parents, who opened their homes to us Remingtons throughout our summertime journeys. Not only did you feed us with endless, delicious, memorable food, but you also fed our hearts and minds with beautiful history, art, music, and culture. We forever thank you.

Sara

Thank you to our editor, Jean Lucas, who seemingly let us go wild creatively. We felt supported from the moment we submitted our proposal and are honored to have had the opportunity to write and photograph this very personal culinary biography of our childhoods. Thank you to our publisher, Kirsty Melville, who took a chance with us, gave us unlimited creative freedom, and believed this very personal story was something worth investing in. Thank you to Laurent, who watched the boys while we worked, supporting us all the way. A special thank-you to all the kids we photographed: Oscar and Raphael Rigobert, Marion and Fiona Krauze, Lucie Gayde, Julien Durango, Hugo Kleiman, Oona Grace and Sidney Brennan. Thank you to all of the friends and family who opened their homes to us: Sylvie Kleiman-Lafon, whose Paris kitchen is on the cover; to Ethels in-laws, Paulette and Raymond Rigobert, who took such good care of us during our days of photography, both in Paris and Provence; to Laurents sister Fabienne Krauze for helping us find locations in the streets of Paris; to Joanne Kaufman and Jim Gutensohn, and Georgina and Deny Fines, for sharing their family homes with us; and to Adle and Pascal Degremont for joining in the fun. We would like to thank the lovely Anne Deregnaucourt for her Rose de Sables; Marie Palazolli for her gnocchi; her daughter Aileen Palazolli and Roberto for tiramisu; Luc Chaffard for early morning coffee, croissants, and goat herding along the rocky hills of Haute Provence; and to Jean and Chantal Serre, and Josianne Serre, for allowing us to photograph their restaurant and epicerie. Thank you Abby Stolfo, who tested recipes for us at crucial moment during the writing process.

Thank you to Francesca Bautista and Imelda Picherit, our beloved designer and photo editor; we knew from the very beginning that we needed you both to go forward with our vision, or our shared vision as the case may be. Francesca, you are an extraordinary talent, and we are so lucky to have you as a friend, colleague, and collaborator. Bisou to Tristan. We must also thank your very talented mother, Jackie Bautista, who helped us strengthen and clarify our written story.
