Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. A richly illustrated Dutch-language culinary volume devoted to the celebrated Trappist beers of Westmalle and their use in fine cooking. More than forty leading chefs explore the culinary possibilities of Westmalle Dubbel and Tripel in over eighty seasonal dishes, ranging from starters and intermediate courses to main dishes and desserts. Rather than treating beer simply as an accompaniment, the recipes use the distinctive character of Westmalle as an integral element of the cuisine. Contributors include established chefs from Belgium, the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, among them Sergio Herman and Renato Favaro. Their recipes combine the complex flavours of Trappist beer with fresh regional and seasonal ingredients, making the volume both a practical cookbook and an attractive document of Belgian gastronomic culture. Published by Davidsfonds in Leuven and Fontaine, this substantial large-format hardcover is extensively illustrated with food photography. The publication proved sufficiently successful to be reprinted several times and also appeared in French, according to editor Norbert Koreman. An appealing title for collectors of Belgian beer books, Trappist and brewing literature, European gastronomy, and specialist cookbooks. Condition Description Very Good.
