Looking for Fresh Spring Menu Ideas? Download Our Provence Collection Now!

Spring in Provence is a delightful experience with the promise of warmer days ahead and market stalls brimming with just-picked ingredients. As the daylight hours get longer and the temperatures rise, shifting from hearty winter meals to lighter seasonal options suits the local produce.

We have been fortunate to collaborate with our contributors and culinary friends for several years, who have created seasonal menus inspired by spring in the South of France. This year, we combined some of their delicious menus into a unique “Spring Recipe Collection,” available for download here.

Provence in the Spring

The season is elusive, with almond trees blossoming as early as February, yet the temperatures remain cool until April or even May. The sun shines brightly but with the occasional rainstorm. This moisture is critical for the grapes, olives, and almonds to begin their growing cycles. March and April see the countryside perfumed with the blooms of apple, pear, apricot, peach, cherry, and plum trees, painting the landscape with their lovely white flowers.

Fresh Spring Menu Ideas

This seasonal collection features 19 recipes, including starters, main courses, side dishes, and desserts. Each recipe is a labour of love, with the list of ingredients, required equipment, and step-by-step instructions meticulously crafted. Featuring seasonal ingredients such as artichokes, asparagus, lamb, and strawberries, we hope the Spring Recipe Collection inspires you to curate menus for dinner parties, luncheons, cocktail parties, and family meals.

We value your opinion and look forward to your feedback on our spring collection of Provence recipes. Your menu ideas and other comments are welcome and integral to our community. Please share them with us by email or social media.
