"While the rest of us dream of being raised on the food and culture of the Riviera, very few of us have the opportunity. Thankfully, Mélanie Masarin translates her rich family history of simple, dreamy recipes for home kitchens everywhere. Dive into these pages if you wish to be transported to a place where olive oil flows like water, soupe is spelled with an 'e,' and scallops are called 'Coquilles St. Jacques.' Welcome to two hundred and forty pages of heaven." - Molly Baz "I wanted to sit at every table in this book. Riviera is full of transportive photographs, deeply seasonal cooking, and writing that feels generous, relaxed, and lived in. It's the kind of book you leave open on the counter and come back to again and again.

" - Andy Baraghani "Mélanie makes my favorite drink on planet Earth, so it's only right that she makes a cookbook just as fantastic!!!" - benny blanco " Riviera captures the vibrant flavors, direct from the south of France, redolent with garlic, basil, tomatoes, as well as a bounty of sun-ripened fruits and vegetables, and--bien sûr--freshly caught fish. Mélanie's collection of recipes will transport you to the Mediterranean, where great food is enjoyed, as it should be, with delicious apéritifs. Santé !" - David Lebovitz "I've known this about Mélanie since I met her, her taste and approachability shine through in everything she does. This book pulls you straight into her world and onto the plate, with food that leaps off the page and a beauty that makes you want to slow down, gather friends, and bring a little Riviera magic to the table for the night." - Courtney Storer "Mélanie is the definition of chic, but this simple yet elegant book never trades substance for style. From crusty bread with butter-dipped radishes and salmon carpaccio to creamy, bright pasta al limon and a whole branzino with her "put-it-on-everything" green sauce, these recipes feel both unfussy and refined. Imagine sitting beachside, sipping a white balsamic strawberry spritz--or staying up late into the night with a tower of perfect little cookies. These recipes conjure the salty air, sparkling blue waters, hot sun, and unmistakable flavors of the French Riviera.

" - Jess Damuck "Mélanie reminds us that long before all the short-lived health fads, there was the timeless, chic, and effortlessly delicious Mediterranean diet. This is a book for those of us who still believe that food should be simple, elegant, and honest, and most of all, it should leave you feeling like your best self." - Julia Sherman.
