ROGER AND I

The most influential chef in Belgium is without a doubt Roger Souvereyns. At Scholteshof, his two-star restaurant located on a country estate an hour east of Brussels, dozens of chefs honed their craft. These include Michelin-starred chefs Piet Huysentruyt, Bert Meewis, Pascal Devalkeneer, Rasmus Kofoed, Jacob Jan Boerma, Soenil Bahadour, Sidney Schutte, among others. They pay tribute to the grand master, now retired, in this book: they tell stories about their experiences and what they have learned from him, and present a dish based on the recipe that most impressed them when working in Souvereyns kitchen. Included is a recipe from every chef, and from the master himself.
