Matty Matheson
Matt's new cookbook is a masterpiece, bringing French classics to life in a way that's both approachable and inspiring. After experiencing his incredible French cuisine at his Maison François restaurant, I have no doubt this book will go on to do great things-guiding a whole new generation to master these timeless French dishes.

Ever since I met Matthew back in 2010, when we started working together, I knew he was destined for success. He's incredibly organized, diligent, and has an exceptional palate and technique. This book is just the beginning of the knowledge he's eager to share, and I have no doubt there will be many more to come. But this one is truly fantastic.

Matthew Ryle has cooked some of my all-time favorite dishes and is responsible for some of my most memorable meals. I admire him greatly-not just for his skill, but for his authenticity as a chef. If his food is anything to go by, this book will be nothing short of brilliant. I can't wait to dive in.

Ravneet Gill
An instant classic for the ages. Matt has written a love letter to French cuisine that feels like a gift to all of us, I want to cook it all.
