Winter Dinner Party Menu from Provence

Generally, we head back to Los Angeles for the winter months, but my culinary heart remains tied to France. The flavours of Provence inspired the following winter dinner party menu.
These three dishes will warm your insides, serve with some delicious French wine and the conversation should flow with ease. Rustic comfort food is great for the soul and for keeping warm.
