In this book, I give you my favorite recipes.

165 recipes. The best of the best I've ever eaten. I cook some every week, others twice a year, but these are definitely dishes that have left their mark on my palate. There are, of course, everyday recipes, because I never buy ready-made meals, but I often don't have the time to cook for long; Sunday recipes that can be complicated or easy but that you take the time to savor; and finally, those from the restaurateurs we filmed. Sometimes during a lunch, a recipe particularly stands out for me, and afterward, I can't stop thinking about it. So I asked them to give them to me so I could reproduce them at home.

I've traveled extensively and I love exotic cuisines. During my reporting, I brought back recipes that I then adapted to our tastes and the products available in France. Such is the case with the recipes in these pages. All of this constitutes what I call my Recipe Book. It's better when it's good. Today, it's yours too. Cook, savor, live.
