“First published in 1996 (under the title Everyone Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook and selling over 50,000 copies) but out of print for many years, Ruth Van Waerebeeks wonderful compendium of Belgian recipes is now back by popular demand in a completely new redesigned edition with full colour photography throughout by the internationally renowned Belgian photographer Regula Ysewijn, also known as the blogger Miss Foodwise.
