How a “failed” chef sparked a global vegetable revolution

How to go ‘dairy free’ with confidence

Chef Steven Klein Nijenhuis notes that giving up dairy can feel daunting, as it requires rethinking classic sauces and creams.

Chefs, your menus and recipes deserve to be saved, it is cultural heritage

What happens to a chef’s legacy once the dishes disappear from the table? Belgian professor Yves Segers of the Centre for Agrarian History (KU Leuven) is calling on chefs and culinary writers to archive their work — not just recipes, but menus, techniques, and stories. Because gastronomy, just like art or architecture, reflects who we are and how we evolve. And without preservation, a vital piece of our cultural identity is lost.

Discover why documenting culinary history matters more than ever.

Nota de prensa sobre “Radilicious”, el nuevo libro de cocina de Frank Fol

Bruselas, 23 octubre 2023 - Hace tiempo que la sociedad abandonó el viejo consejo de "un cuarto de carne, un cuarto de patatas y un segundo de verduras". En los últimos veinte años, la pasta y el arroz han ido apareciendo cada vez más en nuestras cocinas, y el consumo de carne está disminuyendo. El nuevo libro "Radilicious" nos muestra que las frutas y verduras pueden ser una fuente de inspiración para la creatividad culinaria. Cabe destacar que este libro está dirigido a todos aquellos que ya dominan el arte de la cocina.

Brussel, 23 oktober 2023 - Van het aloude voedingsadvies ‘een vierde vlees, een vierde aardappelen en een tweede groenten’ zijn we als maatschappij allang afgestapt. De laatste twintig jaren duiken pasta en rijst steeds meer op in onze keukens en vlees vindt gaandeweg de weg naar de uitgang. Het nieuwe boek ‘Radilicious’ toont aan dat groenten en fruit voer kunnen zijn voor culinaire creativiteit. Dit boek is gericht op al wie de kookkunst al goed onder de knie heeft.

Le nouveau livre Radilicious montre que les fruits et les légumes peuvent être source de créativité gastronomique. Ce livre s’adresse à tous ceux qui maîtrisent déjà l’art de la cuisine.

Brussel, 23 oktober 2023 - Det velkendte kostråd om "en fjerdedel kød, en fjerdedel kartofler og en portion grøntsager" har vi for længst bevæget os væk fra, som samfund. De sidste tyve år er pasta og ris begyndt at dukke op i vores køkkener, og kød er gradvist ved at blive erstattet af andre proteinkilder. Den nye kogebog 'Radilicious' viser, at frugt og grøntsager kan være kreative ingredienser til kulinarisk udfoldelse. Denne bog henvender sig til alle dem, der allerede mestrer kunsten at lave mad.

Opinie: Beste hotelscholen, omarm de plantaardige keuken

Pionier Frank Fol heeft de voorbije jaren een omwenteling gezien in restaurantkeukens, met een steeds prominentere rol voor plantaardige producten. Zijn ‘Denk groenten! Denk fruit!’-filosofie krijgt meer en meer bijval. Maar ons land kan nog een versnelling hoger schakelen en een echte internationale trendsetter worden.

Tuesday, 16 May 2023

Opinion piece: Dear Hotel schools, embrace the pure plant kitchen!

Pioneer Frank Fol has seen a revolution in restaurant kitchens in recent years, with an increasingly prominent role for pure plant products. His 'Think vegetables! Think fruit!" philosophy is gaining traction. But our country can still shift up a gear and become a true international trendsetter.

A Dutch Food Culture.... Do we have one?

Een Nederlandse eetcultuur…. Hebben we die dan?

Daarna zijn de eerste Nederlandse kookboeken gekomen voor de professionele koks en vervolgens voor de meisjes op de huishoudscholen, geschreven door dames als mevrouw Witkop en Cornelia Johanna Wannée.
