Culinair has become one of the favorite items of De
Hoeksteen Internet, yes sir! and 
Radio and Television too!.
It features Dutch Cooks and Chefs, both professionals and aficionados. La Creme de la
creme!!! Guys like John Fagel chef & propietor of "Tout Court" the best place in town (Amsterdam),

and the Flemish Territories in Belgium. The late Otto Valkmam
and his boyfriend Albert Blitz as well as the infamous Bernardo Zuluaga
(Bernardo Gutierrez Comandante Tigre Mono) legendary Guerrillero / Bandit. The Colombian
Robin Hood former First Secretary of the Colombian
Embassy in the Netherlands, now with the Colombian Embassy in the F.A.O in Rome (Italy),
and a fantastic cook; his
"jungle food " is acclaimed all over the Benelux. Some
don't believe it but Amsterdam, and The Netherlands, have a
lot to offer. Belgium too, they are really High Tech. in
Haute Cousine, no 
, serious business. Lobster
in Brugge. Simply the best. The Belgians are
better than the Frogs (no offense) in French cousine. Stars like Philip
Glass with his phenomenal macrobiotic dishes, recipes by famous artists:
Brancusi, 
Duchamp and 
(serious people not mediocre like 
Renoir,
he was bad... or

Churchill, 
Fidel
Castro and the curries of Pakistan Premier Benazir Buttho. Visiting other
places: U.K. (they are not as bad as they look,), Island (fantastic shark) and
Italy . Let's not forget that the Italian cooks of one of
the Medicis who married a Frog King were the ones that
invented Nouvelle Cuisine. Also the latest in spices and
table manners, good and inexpensive silver and china. All
of this in Culinaire.
