Harper NonFiction serves up latest cookbook from chef Marcus Wareing

HarperNonFiction has served Marcus’ France: Memorable French Recipes From my Kitchen to Yours by Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing. 

Publishing director Katya Shipster acquired world all language rights from Nicola Wright at M&C Saatchi Merlin for publication on 7th November 2024.

Marcus’ France "captures the real heart of French cuisine", detailing the foundations of classic sauces, techniques and pastry skills Wareing learnt at college, alongside "iconic" French recipes with a twist. The recipes include pork chops with green olive sauce, the ultimate steak sandwiches, roasted scallops with lentils and apple tarte tatin. 

Wareing said: "My whole career has revolved around the food of France so writing this book has been the most incredible trip down memory lane for me. I wanted to take all the classic recipes I’ve known and loved over the years and bring them up to date to suit the way we all cook and eat today. I really hope readers will find there’s something for everyone and every occasion, and get inspired to bring a taste of France into their own kitchens.”

Shipster added: “It is an enormous privilege to be Marcus’ longtime publisher. His new cookbook is his most personal yet, weaving the remarkable tales of his life and extraordinary career into every recipe. Each dish not only showcases unique flavour combinations and innovative yet achievable techniques, but also reflects the pivotal moments that have inspired him, both professionally and personally, and will help home cooks create deceptively easy but impressive meals that will delight friends, family and even themselves!”
