My Warm Winter Menu from Provence
Lamb · Main Course · Petra Carter · Provencal Recipes · Seasonal Menus · Taste · Winter in ProvenceThe following menu is for cold days, regardless of where you live in the world. These three recipes are easy to prepare. The soup can, and almost should be, made in advance to maximize the marriage of flavours.
