La noblesse à table / the dining nobility - Paul Janssens, Siger Zeischka (eds.) - 2008

A travers plus d’une centaine d’illustrations en couleur et une douzaine de contributions, rédigées en français ou en anglais par des spécialistes à l’intention d’un large public, cet ouvrage aborde la gastronomie et la culture festive de nos princes
et de la noblesse belge depuis la fin du moyen âge.

In this book, specialists deal with the gastronomy and festive culture of our royalty and of the Belgian nobility from the Middle Ages on. It brings together thirteen contributions (in French and English) and plenty of coloured illustrations, and is written for a broad audience. What was the daily menu of the dukes of Burgundy? How can the enthusiasm in the seventeenth century for sea fish be explained? Why were exotic desserts so popular in the nineteenth century? Who was invited for dinner at the table of Leopold II and how did the king welcome his guests? How was the distribution of wine organized in our country? Were Belgian noblemen in the Belle Époque real gourmets? Were hunting dinners a privilege of the nobility?
