An unconventional journey
For the first time in years, a new book by a Belgian three-star chef is being published.
From the thirty ingredients that Geunes cherishes most – masterfully brought to life by illustrator Carll Cneut and photographer Kris Vlegels – a unique book unfolds: not a classic cookbook, but a sensory journey towards ambition and discipline, culminating in culinary perfection.
About the sensation on the tongue of a perfectly cut scallop. About family as a foundation.
About how art – whether it’s a dish, a drawing, a book or a photograph – reflects his personality.
A book that reads like a dish at Zilte tastes
Pure, layered and with unexpected emotional depth.
Geunes writes like he cooks
Confident, honest, intense, balanced, but always surprising.
He shares his unconventional journey – without formal training, without a network – and how he rose to the very top as one of only 137 chefs worldwide to receive three Michelin stars.
Bring this unique story into your home
and gain insight into the mind of a top chef.
Includes 30 signature dishes and 10 homemade recipes and cocktail creations. The chef will personally sign your copy.
