The Story of Auberge

“We went with friends to a cooking school in Saint-Remy-de-Provence. It’s a gorgeous village in the Bouches-du-Rhone region. Van Gogh lived and painted there. The student kitchen was in an “auberge” (rustic farmhouse/inn). Ah, the siren song of Provence.

While we experimented with making gigot d’aneau roti a la provencale (roasted herbed leg of lamb), we quaffed our way through dozens of local wines. They were full-bodied and served with local olives, farm cheese, and fois gras. Heaven! The Auberge is an homage to this experience and the France that I hold dear. I love its depth and feral personality. A votre sante! ”
