"Chef Matt makes French food easy for everyone. Everyone should love French food forever." -Matty Matheson
The most venerated French dishes, prepared for a new generation of chefs by rising star Matthew Ryle-with a foreword by Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc.
We're in the midst of a French food renaissance, in no small part thanks to Matthew Ryle and his accessible, warm approach to the most classic of cuisines. French Classics is full of recipes that have for centuries withstood the test of time-and are soon to break through to a new generation of chefs.
Whether you're craving the perfect Croque Madame for lunch or Beef Bourguignon on a cold night, hoping to surprise your partner with Steak Diane or wow your family and friends with a "Grande Bouffe," French Classics has you covered-and will leave you wondering why you haven't been cooking this food your whole life. With a 70/30 split of "Easy" and "Elevated" dishes, these recipes are made for any home cook who appreciates fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and true classics.

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.
