Riviera: Recipes from the Coast of France and Italy
From the founder of Ghia comes a Mediterranean cookbook that celebrates simple, healthful cooking built to bring people together.
Mélanie Masarin is often asked what food pairs best with Ghia, her celebrated line of nonalcoholic drinks and wellness products. The answer is beautifully simple: the food she grew up with.
The Riviera—that sun-soaked strip of coastline where France melts into Italy—has always been a place of cultural convergence. Here, the precision of French cooking surrenders to the warmth of Mediterranean light, where generations of families have passed down recipes that prioritize flavor over formality, connection over complexity.
This stunning cookbook transports you to that world. Through 101 elegant yet accessible recipes, Mélanie reveals the everyday food that shaped her life: vibrant vegetable dishes, simple seafood, fresh herbs, and the kind of meals that slow time and deepen friendships. Each recipe is a reflection of a place where eating well means eating together—where the table is the heart of everything.
Perfect for anyone seeking to cook with intention and celebrate the people around them, Riviera is an invitation to embrace the Mediterranean way: unhurried, nourishing, and deeply connected to those we love.
