About this product
Now available in English, this is the translation of French Riviera: De Cassis a Menton en 100 Recettes.
From Cassis to Menton, chef Nicolas Sintes traces the flavors of the Côte d’Azur through one hundred recipes deeply informed by terroir. A native of the region who has worked in several of its most respected kitchens and now cooks at Les Roches Blanches, Sintes draws on the Mediterranean pantry with confidence and restraint.
The book moves along the coastline, stopping in towns and bays that define the Riviera’s culinary identity: Cassis, Tamaris, Cannes, Nice, and beyond. Dishes such as Provençal aubergines (called caponata style) ravioli with shrimp, amberjack grilled over flame with mint oil and yogurt, or John Dory with artichokes and young fava beans in lemon-verbana broth highlight the region’s affinity for olive oil, herbs, citrus, and seafood.
Vegetable-forward preparations sit comfortably beside fish and pastry classics, including tourte aux blettes and sun-soaked melon served two ways with iced sangria jus. The result is a portrait of the Riviera that feels both contemporary and deeply anchored in local tradition.
