Rising star Matthew Ryle once again takes us on a journey across France, savouring the sights, the sounds, the aromas and the flavours coming out of the kitchens, and this time all with a focus on easy, delicious everyday meals.

From omelettes to soups and ratatouille to bavette steak, these are perfect mid-week wins for the time-poor cook, delivering authentic French flavours but achievable without being tied to the stove. Chapters include quick lunches and snacks, one pot dishes, French-ish (Matt's playful interpretation of French flavours and food of other countries), Bistro classics, Le Weekend (for when you want to impress), sides and sweet. Recipes include:

Fish en papilotte
One-pot chicken
Sausages and braised puy lentils
Caesar salad
Le Royal burger
Onion tarte tatin
Cheese fondue
Leg of lamb à la Bretonne
Steak with mushroom sauce
Rhubarb crème brûlée

This is a book you'll turn to time and time again, for authentic French flavours, but with minimum fuss.
