Matty Matheson’s debut cookbook is a deeply personal collection of recipes and stories that reflect the foods that shaped his life. With a passion for sharing his love of cooking, Matty reimagines the flavors of his Canadian upbringing alongside the restaurant dishes that made him famous.

Packed with essays and vibrant headnotes, A Cookbook is a life in recipes. This book traces Matty’s journey—from childhood in Fort Erie and summers in Prince Edward Island, to his early days as a young chef in Toronto, and his rise as one of the most recognizable names in food.
