At last: a delectable guide to all things Belgian
A really brilliant, comprehensive tour of the best that Belgian cuisine has to offer. From waterzooi to waffles, shrimps to stoemp, Ruth van Waerebeck has got the lot. I had been looking for a book like this for years. Thank you!

A delicious introduction to Belgian cooking traditions
This is a marvelous book with great classic recipes, but best of all brief descriptions of Belgian cooking traditions, including pieces on the regional ingredients to Belgian beer. A great gift. Belgian cooking should be discovered by all and this is the perfect introduction.

A Child Again!
This is the book I have been seaching for for decades;a true reflection of Belgian passion for food and life! So many of these recipes ,have instantly revived my memories of wonderful food-obsessed holidays spent with my Belgian grandmother in Brussels and at her country cottage.She was a superb cook and would have loved the enthusiasm ,clarity and quality of this wonderful book.I own over 600 cookbooks and few of them have given me such pleasure!My gratitude to the author for the excellent recipes and for giving me back my childhood .
