Not everyone can whisk themselves off to the South of France but you can enter John Besh's La Provence with a short drive to Big Branch! Open the door and there to greet you is a wonderful pear painting with the warm colors of welcome! Be ready to have all of your senses filled. With a rustic South of France feeling...you may not want to leave!Being a vegetarian for many years, I choose very carefully what to have an affair with and my choice of cheating is Escargot au Pistou! That is so french! Something about the earthly flavors and surrounding myself with the airs of Provence..voila..I am there like magic. In a dream state...sitting at an antique french bar next to a warm crackling fire or on a hot summer's eve sitting in the quaint courtyard with scents of Louisiana, that only Louisisana can produce. Now if I can not always get to my dream state, I can dream over John Besh's book..."MY NEW ORLEANS"...either way I will be dreaming of my La Provence! When it slowly comes to the end...I feel a sense of being proud...I was raised in Louisiana and Louisiana is my home...and baby it ain't nothing like it!
