Provencal Seafood Dinner Menu for the Holidays
David Scott Allen · Provencal Recipes · Seasonal Menus · Taste

Borrowing inspiration from the proximity of the Mediterranean this festive menu (recipe links are below each course) is seafood focused.
Share some rosé with your guests as you sample the Cocoa & Lavender zucchini fritters. Then blow their minds and taste buds with the recipe by Michelin star chef Gérald Passedat who turned Bouillabaisse – originally a fisherman’s meal made with the unsold fish parts – into a beautiful variation. The main course highlight is an easy recipe for swordfish by Michel’s, and following salad who could resist the Cocoa & Lavender lemon tart.

Zucchini and Shrimp Fritters, Saffron Mayonnaise
Starter Course
Bouillabaisse Terrine
Main Course
Swordfish with Tomato Caper Butter Sauce
Salad
Lamb’s lettuce (mâche), hazelnuts and Camembert

David's first trip to France took place when he was 14, and he returned as often as possible thereafter. However, it wasn't until his 50th birthday that he finally made it south to Provence.
