Belgium’s people are divided in two cultures: Flemish in the Northern territory and Walloons in the Southern regions. As the country was, in time, under the domination of Romans, Vikings, French, Spanish, Austrians, Dutch, English, and Germans, it has gathered cultural concepts from each of these nations.

  • Belgium occupies a small territory between France, the Netherlands and the North Sea. However, if we consider the population density, it is the second country in the world. Belgium’s people are divided in two cultures: Flemish in the Northern territory and Walloons in the Southern regions. As the country was, in time, under the domination of Romans, Vikings, French, Spanish, Austrians, Dutch, English, and Germans, it has gathered cultural concepts from each of these nations. The Belgian ground was the stage of many important battles, through history. Germanic cultures meet Latin cultures in Belgium and the cuisine was affected, in consequence. During the Middle Ages, Belgium developed a national cuisine. Though, the strongest influence seems to come from the French cuisine. Belgians like to admit that their dishes are cooked with French refinement and served in German quantities. Most of the population works in industry and only five percent of it is involved in agriculture. This didn’t stop the existence of 165 different types of cheeses. The representative dishes of the Belgian cuisine are: mussels and frites, waffles and Endive. The chocolate is also prepared in special ways and commercialized in all the cities. Beer occupies the first place among the Belgium beverages and is available in more than 300 varieties. Although the Belgian cuisine distinguishes itself through the national dishes and beverages, there are few cookbooks published on this topic. This happens because people prefer to transmit orally the traditional methods of cooking. There is one excellent Belgain cookbook: Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook by Ruth Van Waerebeck and Maria Robbins. This is an excellent introduction to a variety of dishes anc cuisines, featuring 250 recipes suitable for all seasons with easy to follow directions, personal anecdotes and notes.
