Winner of the Dutch Cookbook of the Year award in 2010, Home Made is a unique cookbook, with over 200 recipes and ideas for home made food. Author Yvette van Boven uses clear step-by-step instructions to show the reader how to make ingredients, as well as recipes, at home. The book begins with breakfast and works its way through the day: learning how to make cheese from pantry staples, create an oven smoker from scratch in just two minutes and make ice cream without an ice cream machine. In the true spirit of this book Yvette drew her own quirky illustrations, designed the book and prepared the food for the photography by her husband Oof Verschuren. Original, fun and inspiring, Home Made, will appeal to readers wanting simple, authentic and healthy ways of eating.
