Roger and I: 42 Chefs Talk About Their Mentor Roger Souvereyns

The most influential chef in Belgium is without a doubt Roger Souvereyns.

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. AUTHORS: Culinary journalist Willem Asaert writes for, among others, Bouillon Magazine and Culinary Ambiance.
