Jozef Schildermans; Freddy Vandecasteele; Patrick Vandecasteele - L'héritage culinaire de la Villa Lorraine - 2005

French-language edition.
Edited by Jozef Schildermans and Chef Freddy and Patrick Vandecassiere.
For generations of connoisseurs, Villa Lorraine has always been the symbol of an excellent table and perfect hospitality. In 1972 the restaurant became the first outside France to earn a third Michelin star.
After changes in the staff, the restaurant today has one star. Gault Millau 2002 named the current kitchen masters, father Freddy and son Patrick Vandecasserie, Chefs of the Year.
Freddy Vandecassiere was 18 when he came to work at Villa Lorraine in 1962, never to leave, and to leave his mark on the kitchen. He is a defender of classic cuisine, which does not mean that he does not conjure up innovative dishes. Only when a chef knows his classics can he work creatively, that is his philosophy.
In recent years the interior of Villa Lorraine has been thoroughly renewed. The cookbook adds extra luster to all this. Naturally, the exceptional dishes are not missing from this masterwork.
Signed, among others, by the Maître d’Hotel Jan De Craemer with a personal message from him.
