In 1568 Pieter Bruegel the Elder slipped into a wedding to immortalise a scene that represents a period and a society. The famous scene, exhibited at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (Austria), inspires chef Jean-Baptiste Thomaes, the new, rising, two-starred chef of Belgian cooking.
Alongside him, historian Elizabeth Latrémolière contributes her knowledge of the period so that the chef can pour all his savoir-faire into a typically Belgian dish, the Waterzooï - literally, “boiled water”. A festive meal, much like a wedding banquet, but more succulent than the unexciting gruel the peasants used to consume.
