---

He wanted to become a professional
motocross rider, but a serious accident shattered his childhood dream.
That's why Edwin Menue directed his ambition towards another goal: the
kitchen. Failure was not an option. After numerous internships at
celebrated restaurants, chef Edwin, his wife Fleur Boussy and fellow
chef and brother-in-law Frederik opened Cuines, 33 a unique
tapas-centred restaurant in Knokke. Less than a year later, their drive,
exquisite taste and passion were rewarded a first Michelin star. After
Frederik left the restaurant, the menu at Cuines, 33 reflects Edwin's
personality even more. His seasonal kitchen is characterised by bold
flavours and a cosmopolitan flair. The restaurant's interior is as
eclectic and colourful as the dishes. Edwin Menue finds inspiration in
everything: an odd-shaped twig in the forest, a colourful tagine in
Marrakech, the scent of Barcelona, a broken plate, a tattoo.


This
book tells the remarkable story of a chef for whom only the best is good
enough. A perfectionist with only one goal in mind: to offer his guests
an unforgettable experience.
