a Very Neat Vintage HARDCOVER BOOK with DUST JACKET Provides not only a "cook's tour" of the country of Belgium, but also a fascinating introduction to that nation's history, culture, arts and customs. The recipes in The Belgian Cookbook found in the second half, number 137, from piquant appetizers through a rich variety of cakes. They prove beyond doubt the Belgians abiding affection for food, their special feelings for meats and fish and the myriad ways in which these can be made delectable (try a Waterzooi of Fish, Veal Kidneys Liegeoise, or Flemish Rabbit), the beautiful and tasty dishes that vegetables can make, and the glory of a fruity, bouffant dessert. The distinction of Belgian cooking, its separate differences from French, German, or Netherlands gastronomy, is amply illustrated in clear, concise, tested recipes that the American housewife will find easy to follow.
