Entropy featured among 20 plant-based restaurants in book Radilicious

Following the international success of the first edition, Radilicious 2 has been published this autumn. This luxurious and multilingual edition brings together the very best of European vegetable restaurants. Twenty chefs, collectively awarded one hundred coveted Radishes in the We’re Smart Green Guide, open their kitchens and share their stories. The result: a monumental 440-page book featuring 100 signature dishes that elevate vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers to unprecedented gastronomic heights.

Pure plant at the highest level

Where classic cookbooks are often just a collection of recipes, Radilicious 2 is to be a total experience. The reader is taken into the world of progressive pure plant gastronomy: from the unique vision and far-reaching creativity of top chefs to the masterpieces they bring to life on the plate. The book shows how fruit and vegetables are shaping the future of cuisine – not as garnishes or side dishes, but as the heart of the culinary experience.

Copywriter Mieke De Vylder and photographer Wim Demessemaekers travelled throughout Europe to capture these stories. Their work elevates the book beyond a culinary publication: it is a source of inspiration for chefs, food enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by sustainable food and cultural trends.

‘Had this book existed when I took my first steps, it would have given me many years' head start. Because the future of cuisine is inevitably plant-based,’ said chef Emile van der Staak of the world's best vegetable restaurant, De Nieuwe Winkel, at the launch of the first edition.
