Summary: A Great Intro to Belgium's Great Cuisine
Review: I love that subtitle: "The Crispiest Fried Potatoes, Moistest Roast Chicken, Plumpest Garlicky Mussels, and Heartiest Beers". If your mouth's watering, wait till you tear into this one. A great book, much loved by a small cult following (though I believe it's selling well to the mainstream, as well). Belgium is not the sleepy sister of France; it's a chowhound mecca, and this will make you fall in love with it.

Summary: Everybody really DOES eat well in Belgium
Review: I married into a Belgian family, and I have to say, I was intimidated by my mother-in-law's wonderful cooking. How would I ever measure up? In fifteen years, I've learned quite a few of her recipes, but after reading this book, I finally understand where she's coming from. Ruth Van Waerbeek not only introduces Belgian food and cooking, but an entire way of life. The recipes are great, and the stories and anecdotes are even better. This is one of those cookbooks you can sit and read cover-to-cover, even when you're not looking for a recipe. I'm ordering one for my mother-in-law --she'll love it!

Summary: Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook
Review: I've lived in Belgium for over five years. When I got here I knew no one. I happened to meet a wonderful Belgian woman with whom I fell in love with and married. This book was given to us by very good friends on our third anniversary a few months ago. My wife laughed at this peculiar present from Americans and put it with the rest of our cookbooks. However, some months ago she was trying to remember a family recipe and was having a difficult time recalling all the stuff that when in it. So she got the cookbook out, found the recipe, and prepared the food according to the book. Now, she cooks from this book on a regular basis and I am the benefactor of this. This was a great present and it truly is a great cookbook. It is very accurate and reflects the fine Flemish and French cuisine of Belgium. I highly recommend this book for lovers of good food.

Summary: The best Cookbook I've Ever Used
Review: My father always said that Belgian cooking is the best in the world. After a trip to Brussels, in which I was absolutely overwhelmed by the wonderful flavors of every meal I ate, I would have to agree with him. Belgian cuisine has its basis in medieval cooking, and favors such combinations as fruit with meat, and beer used to cook virtually anything. This cookbook is full of surprising and delicious food combinations, and these hearty recipes are wonderfully easy to make! Flemish Style Braised Endive is now one of my favorite things on earth to eat. Another big favorite in our household is Chicken with Grapes. The flavor combinations are fabulous.

Summary: YES PLEASE!
Review: Really nice cookbook, great recipies, very authentic! Focuses on mainly Flemish recipies rather than those from the French and German speaking parts of Belgium. No pictures, the words and recipies speak for themselves.....

Summary: Sometimes it's good to be Belgian
Review: This is a great book ! Makes me feel good about being Belgian... (and hungry)There is a wave of interest in Belgian cooking, especially in the UK. But it's spreading, and rightly so, we do have the best kitchen in the world - it's down to earth and easy... Best enjoyed with a good Belgian beer (Duvel or hoegaerden...). Try it and you'll love it.
