Enjoy the Tastes of Provence Harvest Menu by Goût et Voyage

With shorter days, cooler nights, and relaxed meals with friends and family on the horizon, Nutmeg enlisted Martine Bertin-Peterson to design a Provence Harvest Menu. This three-course meal celebrates the colours and flavours of autumn, with pears, squash, lamb, and a sweet finish.

Accomplished only begins to describe Martine Bertin-Peterson a lady who speaks five languages, worked in corporate marketing, owned an art gallery in Santa Fe and runs a bespoke travel company called Goût et Voyage. You can read more about Bertin-Peterson here and her small-group tours in Provence here.

Closer to her home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Bertin-Peterson also offers cooking classes. She honed her culinary skills through years of formal classes and a mother who was a fantastic cook. Goût et Voyage cooking classes began about four years ago, when Bertin-Peterson realized many people no longer bother cooking at home, between take-out meals and restaurant dining. According to Bertin-Peterson, this culinary gap inspired her classes.
