    Dear Jessica,

    Your friend -and my colleague- Carina has directed me to this site and thank God she did, it is fabulous! Could you please add me to the mailing list? And also, if you ever want a Belgian recipe, don’t hesitate to give me a shout! I was born in this heavenly land of Chocolate (and Beer), you see.
