Xavier Mathieu takes us on a food-lovers tour uncovering the cuisine of south-eastern France and his homeland, Provence.
In the kitchen, he is always looking for pleasing, subtle alliances of colours and flavours. He places high priority on top quality ingredients. And then, he turns a simple dish into an exceptional experience.
How does he do it? By paying special attention to all the details of the preparation. To do so, Xavier Mathieu picked up a number to simple tricks throughout his travels, building up an entire treasure trove of tips. For him, it is essential to reach harmony, the same harmony that makes music so pleasant. Phebus is a magnificent estate in the heart of the Luberon, rebuilt on ruins that date back to the Templars. Nestled in sweet-smelling scrubland, it has a calm that lends itself to relaxation and dreaming.
The Phébus is located near Gordes, a sumptuous village built up on a boulder. These pages are filled with exceptional meetings with producers and regional artisans who introduce readers to:
- wine from the Domaine de la Citadelle
- candied fruit from Lilamand
- Edith Mézards embroidery
- goats milk cheeses
- honey
- lavender and much more
