A mix of authentic and modern, Manon's recipes are all easy to throw together -- whether its a weekday lunch or Birthday celebration. Manon proves that French food doesn't have to be complicated, and entertaining doesn't have to be stressful. From pastries you have convinced yourself are too difficult to make at home, to classics like Quiche Lorriane and Salmon en Croute, a fantastic Rose Prawn Spaghetti and fabulous sauces and sides that will elevate all of your meals, these recipes will be your go-to. And, or course, it wouldn't be a French cookbook without a selection of desserts to die for: Chocolate Fondant, Basque Cheesecake and a Lavender Panacotta, to name a few.

With a chapter of fool-proof meal plans so you can 'Host Like A French' with ease, this cookbook demystifies French cooking once and for all.
