Matthew Ryle: This Is How French Restaurants Make Tarte Tatin (without It Going Watery)

Jul 24, 2026 | Tarte Tatin is one of the most famous French desserts — and one of the most commonly ruined. The number one reason? A watery, pale caramel.

In this video I'll show you exactly why that happens and give you a foolproof, restaurant-tested method that's been on our menu since the day we opened. The secret is building the caramel IN the pan, directly on the apples — not making it separately. That, plus one simple apple prep trick, is the difference between a soggy disappointment and a deep, dark, perfectly caramelised tart.

French Cooking Academy: Stop Ignoring Fennel! Try This Easy French Braised Fennel Recipe: Fenouil braisé au gras

May 27, 2026 | Fennel is one of the most underrated vegetables, but when cooked using classic French techniques, it becomes incredibly tender, sweet, and mild.

In this video, a step by step tutorial, we are making a classic French braised fennel (fenouil braisé), that is sure to please everyone. By par-cooking, searing, and slowly baking the fennel quarters over a bed of carrots, onions, pork belly, and rich stock, the strong anise flavour softens, and the fennel takes on a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery texture.

It is a versatile side dish that pairs wonderfully with roast pork, chicken, or fish. If you want a vegetarian version, simply omit the pork belly and swap the beef stock for a high-quality vegetable stock.

Sea Bass in a Salt Crust with Yuzu Sabayon, Perfectly Cooked | Bar en croûte de sel | Hélène Darroze

Jul 18, 2025 | Today, I'm cooking something I love: a salt crust. 🧂🐟

In this recipe, I'm offering you a lovely sea bass from the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, cooked in a salt crust. A technique I particularly appreciate for the delicate cooking.
