Discover the Perfectly Provence Contributors
Contributors · ExplorePerfectly Provence is the name of this website; it is also a community of over 40 contributors each of whom has a personal connection to the region.
The list includes expats who have chosen to make the South of France their home:
- Rebecca Ronane is a dynamic life coach with a vision to create an interconnected women’s network in Provence.
- Rebecca Whitlocke your “go-to” resource for the things to do and travel tips on the French Riviera.
- Deborah Bine, our intrepid solo traveller who never stops exploring.
- Ashley Tinker, a fine art photographer who is always curious about Provence.
We are thrilled to have pieces from published authors who transport us to France with their words and stories:
- Deborah Lawrenson has written eight novels, and she divides her time between the UK and Provence.
- J. Christina is the clever travelling couple – Christina and John. Read about their journeys in Provence and beyond on their blog Scribbles and Smiles.
- Keith Van Sickle is enjoying Provence one sip at a time.

- Patricia Sands the possibilitarian writes about “Love in Provence” a 3-part series that will cause you to fall in love with the region.
- Mary Jane Deeb a mystery novelist and avid reader who shares her book reviews.
Provence is not a place to go hungry or thirsty, and we love this group of food and wine lovers:
- Jill Barth, a lady who shares the wine grower’s story behind what you are drinking.
- Martine Bertin-Peterson offers Gout et Voyage culinary experiences in Provence. When she is not organising these small-group bespoke tours, she offers customised cooking classes at home in Bucks County, PA.
- Stephen and Jeany Cronk the founders of Mirabeau Wine.
- David Scott Allen who concocts Cocoa & Lavender recipes you will want to try.
- Viktorija Todorovska is immersing herself in the art of living and enjoying food.
- Cook’n with Class teaching interactive cooking classes in Uzès (and Paris) for the last decade.
- Susan Newman Manfull shares articles on wine domains, industry exhibitions and the inside of the cork scoop with Provence WineZine.
- Liz Gabay – a master of wine who is writing a book on rosé.
- Paula Kane invites you to her Table en Provence.
- Chrissie McClatchie who is now found “down under” but her heart is still the Riviera Grape.
- Tasha Powell will make your mouth water with her “Cooking with a French Twist” photos and recipes.
There are also several of us who have our feet in a couple of locations:
- Julie Whitmarsh is biking the hills of the Vaucluse and scouring the markets – when she is not dreaming about it.
- Jemma who is based in Antibes each summer provides some valuable French lessons.
- Caroline Longstaff a British gal based in California who cannot get enough of the Luberon and beyond.
- Paul Shawcross – photographer and travel guide writer.
- Dorothy Garabedian sometimes takes a detour to Provence.
- Ginger and Nutmeg are on a culinary travel adventure.
The common denominator for all is a mutual passion for Provence; its scenery, history, climate, traditions and Mediterranean cuisine.
