Book: Belgian Baking Book - Stefan Elias
A paean to the rich tradition of Belgian baking culture, with recipes from the panne to arlon.
In Belgiumë almost every region or city has its own baking speciality: Brussels and Liège waffles, Liège vlaaikes, Aalstern onion cake, Kortrijk rusks, Bruges kletskoppen, Ardennes spelt bread, Antwerp koekhandjes... A treasure trove of baking, of which far too few people are aware. The Belgian Baking Book brings together for the first time more than a hundred of these culinary treasures and festive recipes from all over Belgium.
Master baker Stefan Elias, for many years the right-hand man of legendary Ghent baker Jacques Bloch, went in search of authentic, sometimes almost forgotten recipes. Step by step, he explains how you can get started yourself, supplemented with tips and anecdotes about the genesis of each delicacy.
In addition, Greet Draeye (Centre for Agricultural History Leuven) brings the historical story behind the artisanal cakes, pastries and biscuits from our country.
The Belgian Baking Book goes back to the essence of baking and breathes passion for the craft. Be inspired by Belgian baking traditions and bring the smells of the warm bakery into your home!
