A short walk from the garden: Belgian chef Gert De Mangeleer is succeeding in self-sufficiency
During the mild months of early summer, the garden at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Hertog Jan — located 20 minutes outside of the Belgian city of Bruges — is in full bloom. The pale orange outlines of butternut squash peek out from beneath a thick cover of wide, flat leaves. Radishes grow in neat rows along one edge, while golden nasturtium flowers sprout in another corner. But Hertog Jan's garden functions as more than fancy landscape design: it is an experiment in self-sufficiency.

Belgian beer is a 'perfect partner' when it comes to these food pairings
The Belgians take their beer seriously. With a brewing history that dates back to the 12th century, Belgium is one of Europe's most prolific producers, turning out 1.8 billion liters per year, according to industry statistics. Scattered around the country, Belgium's roughly 180 breweries produce an impressive 1,500 varieties of beer — from tart and fresh lambics made with spontaneous fermentation, to rich and malty triples with alcohol levels over 7 percent. For every style there is a uniquely shaped drinking vessel designed to enhance the aromas of the brew.
