The French Riviera Cookbook: From Nice to Cannes in 100 Recipes - Hardcover

by Nicolas Sintes (Author), Matteo Carassale (Photographer)

A beautiful cookbook from one of Europe's trendiest locations, with gorgeous photography shot on location in the Côte d'Azur.

"The French Riviera, it's not just a setting. It's a place where one cooks with sun, seafood, herbs, olive oil. A straightforward, delicately balanced cuisine, it's all about the essentials. It is one that I have celebrated for more than twenty years. This book is made for those who love this region, who love cooking simply, and who know that a beautiful plate starts always with good produce."

Each chapter of this beautiful cookbook is devoted to a different town on the French Riviera--France's Mediterranean coast--showcasing each ville's delightful dishes and vistas. Recipes include:

• Stuffed chicken
• Sautéed girolles
• Bouillabaisse
• Saffron and honey madeleines
• Chicken in salt crust
• Tomato salad with nectarines and balsamic vinegar
• Fennel salad with green olives, bottarga and orange

Specially commissioned photography brings the coast right into your home--from Cassis to La Ciotat, Toulon and La Baie de Tamaris, Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Menton.
