This is a flat, quiche like tart which originates from the region around Verviers in Belgium. It is also common in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), a German city at the border to Belgium. I had it first when I visited a friend in Aachen and we walked over to a small monastery in Belgium. Basically this is kind of pizza base with a topping of rice pudding. Not overly sweet but totally addicting…

Chimay “à La Bière” cheese is a Belgian smooth semisoft cheese that is washed with Chimay beer. It has a pungent aroma and mild flavor. Look for it in specialty cheese shops, or try another cheese with a beer-washed rind, such as German Temptin cheese. Recipe by Mathieu Palombino and taken from Bon Appetit May 2010 for ZWT.
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” This has become my standard Thanksgiving turkey recipe. I follow it precisely, alternately basting with drippings and butter every 15 minutes. The result is a spectacular presentation—a beautiful, dark golden brown turkey that everyone ooh’s and ahh’s over. It’s not that hard, just takes a little extra work. And the extras—making the forcemeat stuffing beforehand and the gravy at the end—are worth the trouble. Ruth says that the Christmas Turkey is traditionally served with Deep-Fried Potatoe Croquettes, Celery Root and Potato Purée, an assortment of green vegetables, and Baked Apples Filed with Berries, or Pears Poached in Spiced Red Wine.
