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.

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.

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.
