Our cookbook of the week is Le Sud: Recipes from Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur by Paris-based writer and food stylist Rebekah Peppler.

Jump to the recipes: radishes and radish leaf pesto, mussels in aïoli, and celery and fennel salad.

The sparkling seaside, medieval hilltop villages and plentiful produce of the south of France pulled Rebekah Peppler in. “I think I speak for a lot of people when I say what hooked me was the magic that is the south of France,” says the Paris-based writer and food stylist, who devoted her third cookbook, Le Sud (Chronicle Books, 2024), to the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
