About this title

From the Back Cover:

A Fervent Ode to Flemish culinary tradition and to generations of family cooking, from the author's peasant great grandmother's rustic, friendly, food to her mother's dedication to everything fresh. . . . Belgian food is cause for celebration. -Richard Olney, author of Simple French Food

At last, a book that reveals Europe's best-kept culinary secret: Belgium. From three-star restaurants-of which the country has more per capita than France-to the legions of opinionated, accomplished, home cooks, Belgium and the Belgian people are passionate about good food. Starting with a humble mussel, fried potato, simple chicken, or piece of chocolate, Belgians find a way-and always a surprisingly easy way-to make magic. As Belgians explain it, since one has to eat three times a day, why not make a feast of every meal?
