Yesterday we sent the invitations out for my book launch for the press in two weeks time. So it’s official now and I even received a copy of the very first book! The printer had sent one over to me in advance. I’m more than thrilled with it, I can’t wait to show it to you.
Here’s the invitation and a pic of the first book. Home Made SUMMER will be released in German & English spring 2013, sorry, you’ll have to wait a little….
For over a year or so I’ve posted a new recipe for the weekend at RED’s Dutch website every Friday. I always leave a little drawing with every recipe, so I decided to put some of them together to form a huuuge patchwork. I could go on forever, as I made so many of them.

Just back from printing my new book in Barcelona at Indice. It turned out beautifully. I’m really really happy with it, but I think I’m even more smitten with the misprints. I brought many of them home, want to frame them all. I’ll post a sneak peak of the real new book really soon, but first some of the lovely misprints,
I’m already getting new ideas….nice huh?
Almost a year ago 3 ladies, Anouk Wentink, Ellen Vereijken en Leontien Aarnoudse asked me to contribute to their green project. They wanted to make a book about substantial food. A seasonal cookbook with tips & tricks on how to cook and live your life more consciously. I loved the idea right away, so with many other Dutch food writers and cooks (like Eefenlien, Eke Mariën (Boerenjongens), Samuel Levie (Green peas), Werner Drent and Yolanda van der Jagt to name a few) I left a recipe on their desk. It resulted in a huge beautiful book called de Groene Garde (the green whisk), filled with recipes, stories, tips and tricks of the trade. I’m happy to be a part of it, so thank you ladies for asking me.
I just finished my Summer book!
It’s due to hit the stores by the 10th of May in Holland, the English version will take a little more time, I’ll have to finish the Winter book in English first.
But I’m happy and proud.
Cheers guys, I deserve a bubbly drink now.
Today I received the first copy of my book Home Made in German! I’m so excited, I really liked working with my German publisher DuMont Buchverlag, they did such a great job!
Thanks a million guys.
Now you German, Austria and Swiss people are able to get your hands on my book in your own language, have fun!
I’ve been working for the health brand Royal Green for a couple of years now. Made little drawings for their packaging and ads and more. Have a look at their website too, I’ve made a lot of content for it.
The job I enjoy most is writing the ads with huge letters like these:
They are used as huge texts for in shops or used in ads like this one: 
Every month I have my own column in the Dutch RED magazine. I illustrate it too of course. By the way, I give a little recipe on RED’s website away too every week, have a look here, if you’re Dutch.
Paper cut for Residence
Residence magazine asked me to make a paper cut with the new Farrow & Ball colour book for outdoor paint.
So I did and my husband Oof Verschuren took the picture.
