Provence Cooking, Olive Oil and Herbs de Provence Healthy Cooking on a
Provence Culinary Vacation
Provence Cooking with  Olive Oil and Herbs of Provence will be
Healthy Cooking during a Provence Culinary Vacation.
Provence recipes are simple enough but the cuisine depends on local
meat and  ripe fresh vegetables and fruits,  
North,  you can go to the country and interesting old ruins in fields of rosemary and rocky
outcrops sprouting thyme. South,  you can go to the Camargue and see the white horses
roaming free. There you will find rice growing and the Camargue sea salt for serving at the table
Stuffed squash and stuffed tomatoes: A combination of beef, wild boar sausage, thyme, oregano
and left over French bread is mixed in a grinder after the meat is cooked. The stuffing is inserted in
the hollowed out zucchini squash and tomato. The caps are replaced after a sprinkle of grated
Parmesan cheese. They go in the oven for about an hour. The caps of tomato blacken as the juices
intensify and mix with the stuffing  
The Camargue is noted for
its horses, bulls,  and its
salt. The people evaporate
sea water and harvest the
salt in a huge operation
near the mouth of the
Rhone River. The salt is
available throughout
Provence and you will find it
for use at the table  rather
than salting the food while
cooking.
Stuffed squash and tomatoes served with
chicken soup, minced chicken and thyme
canapes, sliced fruit with goats cheese, and
Cotes Du Rhone
Foraging for herbs along the old canals make  
interesting walks. Both sides have flat trails
where mules once pulled barges.
