Recettes et récits

My carbonara, honed in the best Roman trattorias; my famous lemon cake, borrowed from Martine, a friend of my mother's; the tarragon chicken handed down by 3-star chef Anne-Sophie Pic, who inherited it from her mother Suzanne; my coconut milk soup, brought back from Bangkok; the pissaladière I picked up from Dominique Le Stanc, the chef at La Merenda in Nice; the irresistible crème caramel of my childhood...

In this collection, I've put together my 155 ultimate recipes! Popular or bourgeois, street food or gastronomic, simmered or straight from the cupboard, Corsican, Italian, Balkan, Asian... They draw on all influences, but all have the same ambition: to be delicious and easy to prepare!

And since good recipes are also good stories, I'll tell you the tasty tales and juicy anecdotes behind each one.

The 3-star chef Michel Guérard was right when he told me: “the best recipes are those that are shared”!
