Summary: Garden of Earthly Delights
Review: An indispensible guide to the food of Belgium and its preparation. Although the cuisine is Flemish leaning (and no disrespect whatsoever meant) and containing no photos (really good cookery books don't need them to visualise the process and end product as the writing is strong enough), I recommend this book wholeheartedly. If you don't live in Belgium (as I do), it won't be long before you think of visiting. The food here is really rather good.

Summary: Amazing, Indispensible, and most importantly, Delicious!
Review: Five years ago, I had never heard of Belgian cuisine, but meeting my boyfriend certainly changed all of that! I was in AWE of how much reverence they paid to a single meal, but once I tasted the results, I understood what all the fuss was about. I just couldn't afford the airfare to keep eating at Belgian restaurants, so this cookbook was a godsend! Many traditional recipes can be found in here, and they're much simpler to prepare than I had ever anticipated. Do yourself a favor and get this in the hardcover version. If you use it as much as I do, a paperback copy will fall apart in about a month!

Summary: A great cheater for belgian expats: all traditional recipes
Review: How many times did I impress foreigners with the great belgian recipes which my grandma did not teach me?? All thanks to Ruth's book. Essential, healthy, tasty and authentic recipes which as a belgian native (now expatriate) I love to stir up for pleasure and for the good memories they bring back!!
Ruth is really special, cooking is a genuine passion for her. Having had the chance to know her personally and enjoy her cooking, I testify that she is a real master in cooking, not just belgian cooking...!)

Summary: Vive La Belgique!
Review: I acquired my love of cooking and fine food while living in Belgium, and this book has every single receipe I enjoyed while in Liege. It has easy to follow receipes, and ingredient equivalents for hard to find foods. This book is a *must* for anyone who enjoys "la gastronomie belge!"

Review: I am Belgian. This book was given to me by an American friend while I was residing abroad. It is well written and very easy to understand, even if you are not a chef! It includes a lot of recipes that were used by my mother in her daily family cooking.I enjoy it and am using it all the time

Summary: If you love Belgium, you will love this cookbook
Review: I am trying these recipes one by one and they are excellent so far and I am no great cook. The sidebars are full of interesting tidbits and I am planning my garden around ingredients needed
in these recipes. Anyone who has been to Belgium knows they have the best beer in the world. The people are lovely, their country is gorgeous, their food superb and their beer un-beatable.
This is my very favorite cookbook. I only hope I can learn to grow Belgian endive and white asparagus.
If you don't love this cookbook, you don't love food. It is a treasure!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK!
Review: I have been truly amazed at the authenticity of this Belgian cookbook. Having been raised in Belgium, I was pleasantly surprized to see so many familiar recipes. The author explains the culinary traditions, and also substitutes ingredients if some are difficult or not possible to find in the US.
