Having talked to chefs and farmers, curators and book collectors up and down the country, Anna Jenkinson and Neil Evans have put together a book of recipes and stories that explain Belgium's love affair with food. They travelled from the North Sea coast in the West to the Ardennes forest in the East and learned the secret to making Belgian chips, when the first chocolate praline was made, and how the Spanish, French and Germans have all influenced Belgian cuisine over the centuries.Illustrated with beautiful photographs by Diane Hendrikx, this is a book that could live in the kitchen or on your coffee table, with not only lots of mouth-watering recipes for traditional Belgian dishes, but also fascinating anecdotes about the nation's cuisine.ANNA JENKINSON and NEIL EVANS are two Brits who have spent a large part of their lives in Belgium. Neil is passionate about cooking and owns a sizeable collection of Belgian cookbooks dating back more than 100 years. Anna is a journalist whose writings about life in Belgium have been published in international and local newspapers.
