The staff of Delicious. tested the recipe for Rosemary Shortbread from my book Home Made. I’m very happy they were glad with the result and they even liked it a lot! Thank you Delicious.!
The film was made by zie.nl
Unfortunately for some the film is in Dutch.
The official press launch for my book Home Made will be tonight at the FOAM CAFÉ, Museum for Photogaphy in Amsterdam. Special guest will be Mister Stéphane Reynaud, who will receive the first copy of my book. I’m delighted he decided to come over from Paris. A huge thank you to my publisher: Fontaine Uitgevers, who made all this possible and has taken care of so many things. We had a great ride!
I’ll post some pics of the booklaunch soon.
In the meantime, here is a picture of me in Barcelona at Indice, who printed my book. They did a wonderful job. After that I’ll show you the invitation I made.
I made some new illustrations for Royal Green. They are a brand of Organic Products. They have quite a cool website too, have a look! With the help of my handwriting & little drawings they’ve put their packaging, ad’s and website together. I’ve done more stuff for them before, you can take a peek here or here.
These have turned out pretty nice too, I think.
A whole year ago, I did a food styling job for Margriet Magazine about summer fruit, and what to do with it when you have too much left over from your garden or the market.
Finally it’s in the magazine now! I particularly like the one with the bottle of blueberry & thyme syrup. The other ones are gooseberry & orange rind jam and home made raspberry vinegar. All recipes are (some way or the other) featured in my book: Home Made.
The styling was done by Judith Baehner and the photo’s where taken by Louis Lemaire.
Whilst on a break, I finally have time to show you some stuff I did and never came around showing you.
A little while ago, on June 19th to be precise, my dear friend Pia Jane Bijkerk launched her newest book over at the Americain Book Centre, in the Amsterdam city centre. Together with Sophie Blanchard I fixed her nibbles fit for a bookstore (no dripping!). The nibbles spelled her name and the name of the book: Amsterdam: made by hand. If you ever come to Amsterdam, it’s a ‘must have’ guide, that shows you where to shop for real treasure. Pia also did a beautiful one about Paris. You can buy them both here.
I nicked these pics from Pia’s blog telling us all about the launch, Alan Jensen and Cath Conroy took them.
I saw myself on the cover of the new Delicious today! Proud as a peacock I am. They did a huge exclusive story on my book, but I’ll boost about that later. For now you can try to find me on the front.
Hello!
I posted this over at 2DM – blogazine, this weekend:
Allerhande Magazine has fixed the summer edition, avaliable at all supermarkets right now.
I wonder what I’ll cook with them.
Any suggestions?
I’ll post a recipe if I think of something nice these coming days.

the official launch of Home Made on AT5
Another little film!
AT5, Amsterdam’s own TV channel, was present at my private book launch at Foam last week. Daphne Chlimintzas was the reporter and she did a hell of a job on making a little film about our book.
Thank you so much Daphne!
(… and many thanks to all of you, for being so nice when asked about things, smiling when Daphne asked you to and behaving so properly > as if we are all so perfect!)
