The writer Didier Van Cauwelaert was the guest of Laurent Mariotte in the program "La Table des bons vivants", on Europe 1. For the occasion, he returned to his childhood memories and his first daring culinary experiences.
Including a famous chip cake and La Vache qui rit.
INTERVIEW
If Didier Van Cauwelaert has been writing since the age of 8 and his vocation was already found, there is one for which he admits not having been made: cooking.
Although he became a great lover of French gastronomy, the writer had a first experience in the kitchen, to say the least, incredible.
An experience that the author of the book
The Power of Animals
shares with us in Laurent Mariotte's program,
La Table des bons vivant,
on Europe 1.

Act of love
"The first dish I cooked was for a friend's birthday and it was a cake," explains Didier Van Cauwelaert.
"But beware, it was not just any recipe… It was La Vache qui rit et aux chips. I was leaving on a salty basis because she was not allowed sugar because of diabetes in the family. . So I made her a birthday cake. It was very beautiful before baking. You know, the corollas of chips, it was like a flower. And then, I put it in the oven and my cake looked like nothing more. But it started with a good feeling. Cooking is a wonderful act of love. "
Even more when it is a attention that we take care to pay at just 9 years old.
