Warmer days and market stalls brimming with just-picked ingredients mark this lovely season in the South of France. As the daylight hours get longer and the temperatures rise, shifting from hearty winter meals to lighter seasonal options suits the local produce.
Spring Menu Ideas
It’s the time of the year for asparagus, strawberries, peas, fresh herbs, lamb and more. This Spring Menu Collection includes recipes from Perfectly Provence contributors and culinary friends. They have created seasonal menus inspired by spring in the South of France. This year, we combined 19 of their delicious recipes into a unique “Spring Recipe Collection,” available for download here.
Spring in Provence
Provence is lovely in the springtime. As with most of the year, the sun shines brightly, but you should expect an odd rainstorm. Moisture in this period is critical for the grapes, olives, and almonds to start their growing cycles. The apple, pear, apricot, cherry, and plum trees bloom in March and April. During May and June, watch for poppies, irises, and the promise of future sunflowers.
