La Bastide de Pierre’s tiramisu
For 8 people , you will need:
6 eggs
100g caster sugar
500g mascarpone (not too fresh)
300g Ladyfinger biscuits
50cl unsweetened espresso coffee
Bitter cocoa powder
The recipe:
Separate the egg whites from the yolk
Beat the yolks energetically into the sugar (using either a whisk or an electric mixer) until they are frothy. Add the mascarpone and mix again.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until there are stiff peaks and then delicately add them to the mixture above with a spatula, blending together from top to bottom
In a square dish, spoon on a layer of the mascarpone cream you made, and cover it in biscuits (which have been quickly dipped in unsweetened cold coffee). The first layer is done!
Cover it again with cream and another layer of coffee-dipped biscuits and then finally with cream again. Leave it in the fridge for about three hours.
Powder the entire surface with bitter cocoa powder before serving.
The Bar at La Bastide is a warm, relaxing place that’s also filled with surprises. Here, every bartender is master of mixology and knows exactly which flavours blend together to perfection.
Inspired by the area and filled with the essence of Provence, each cocktail is packed with imagination and passion, and is designed to put a smile on your face.
The world-famous Cosmopolitan is no exception! Juicy, tangy and refreshing, this legendary cocktail has it all. The Bartenders of La Bastide like to add a small (but incredible) twist: an infusion of fresh ginger.

In the heart of the village of Gordes is an authentic Italian trattoria. Close to the medieval castle and a few steps away from La Bastide, La Bastide de Pierres has been an institution since 1820. Here, la Dolce Vita can be savoured in a number of ways. Although in a menu that is filled with Italian specialities, Chef Andrea Pettirosso has one particularly renowned dish: a real spaghetti carbonara.
For four people you will need :
320g of spaghetti
150g bacon lardons
6 egg yolks
50g grated Pecorino cheese
Salt & pepper
And that’s it !
The recipe :
Cook your spaghetti in boiling salted water for the amount of time recommended on the package.
Fry the bacon (careful not to burn it!).
Whisk the egg yolk and cheese together in a bowl (add 2 tablespoons of pasta water to the mixture), and keep some cheese on the side for later.
Drain the spaghetti and then pour it into the pan you’re frying the bacon in, adding the egg and cheese sauce. Heap the remaining grated Pecorino on top with some ground pepper. And you’re done
To make it look and taste even more delicious, add a few bacon chips (from cured meat ideally) which you will have already made crispy by popping them in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes at 180°C.
And it’s all ready. Buon appetito!
