I love French food more than anything. Everyone should experience a beautiful coq au vin, a classic tarte tatin. Chef Matt makes French food easy for everyone. Everyone should love French food forever.

Matty Matheson
London restaurateur Matthew Ryle makes the best roast potatoes imaginable.

Sheryl Julian, The Boston Globe
There is something so straightforwardly delightful about this cookbook, a forthright guide to the kind of recipes-moules mariniére, beef bourguignon-that make you feel as though you're attending your grandmother's dinner party, if she was entertaining on Park Avenue. And yet, there's nothing fussy or stuffy about French Classics rather, it's a streamlined and simplified (without sacrificing authenticity!) take on the classics we all love.

Chloe Schama, Vogue.com
French Classics by Chef Matthew Ryle, the classically trained London-based chef and founder of Maison François, is the perfect cookbook for anyone looking to bring timeless recipes like moules marinière and beef bourguignon into a modern kitchen with ease and flair. French home cooking has never felt so approachable.

Allison Fabian Derfner, goop
[Matthew Ryle's] classic beef bourguignon is rich, tender, and full of flavor . . . by the time it's ready, you're rewarded with a deeply flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth dish that makes every step worth it.

Katie Couric Media
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.
