Marseille

Marseille is not just a city – it’s a feast. France’s oldest city is also its most electric: gritty yet sunlit, raw yet full of life. While the rest of Provence drifts on lavender fields and rosé clichés, Marseille moves to its own rhythm. Here, pizza vans sit beside Tunisian bakeries, bouillabaisse meets natural wine, and a new generation of chefs is redefining modern French and Mediterranean cooking. In Marseille , chef and restaurateur Harry Cummins – one of the leading voices in the city’s dynamic food scene – guides you through this vibrant culinary crossroads. From sunrise at the Vieux-Port to beachside apéritifs and late-night slices in Cours Julien, he captures the flavours, people and energy that make the city unique. Part travel cookbook, part culinary journey, this book features 80 bold, ingredient-led recipes inspired by Marseille’s diverse food culture – from fresh seafood dishes to rustic French classics with a modern edge. With vivid storytelling and atmospheric photography throughout, Marseille brings the spirit of the Mediterranean into your kitchen. A must-have Mediterranean cookbook for anyone who loves French cuisine, travel, and vibrant, seasonal cooking.
