What is life more than having meaningful conversations, a drink, a laugh, delicious food and truly enjoying the company of the people you love?

Even then, having discussed the latest holiday, how the kids are doing, and the issues at work there are moments that you’d like to bring up something else. Then it is time for Cooking the Books. Conversations while you are preparing dinner.

This book Rob Beernink and I wrote in 2006, followed by a book on Levantine food in 2016. 

Bon Appétit.

This book contains lovely recipes for good conversations and good food. The book, which recipes of Rob Beernink, appeared at the occasion of my second Inaugural Address at Maastricht University. Best conversations are held over lunch or a good dinner. As it is not available in an online version, we provide readers with our latest contribution based on the works of Alain Passard: Encounter with a tomato.
