I’m more than delighted to tell you that this weekend I got the best news everrr!
Not only my cookbook WINTER but álso the book ZOMER/SUMMER will be translated in English and distributed worldwide by my publisher from New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang an imprint of Abrams.
The WINTERBOOK will come out this fall, but I will keep you posted any news that I can give out about both books.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to work, the SUMMERBOOK isn’t completely finished yet!
Working hard to keep up with the schedule I am, my book Home Made ZOMER (SUMMER) is coming up this spring! My publisher Fontaine Uitgevers has just announced it in their presentation of all the new titles they’re launching these upcoming months. I’m proud to be a part of that collection already.
Still, I have a few more weeks and many hours to go till it’s finished.
In the meantime here’s a teeny tiny little preview from their presentation for you, I love the quotes! Thank you, Annemieke @Vegatopia, Dean Sheremet & Outblush for writing such wonderful & witty things about my work.
A little while ago I was a guest on a radio show on Radio 2 here in Holland. The show is called ‘Hemelbestormers‘ and it’s about about people with big dreams and ambitions. Every Sunday afternoon they invite a cook, like me, to talk about their work and to bring some food for everyone to taste. By the end of the show every cook left their recipe for the ‘Hemelbestormers cookbook’. I just received my copy, thanks guys! You can download the PDF of the little cookbook for yourself here too! (in Dutch)
I made this for my brilliant agent 2DM in Milan and I couldn’t have said it better! So from all of us at 2DM: thank you for all the nice things we did this year!
Merry Christmas and a wonderful new 2012,
Yvette
The stylish American store Terrain has featured my recipe for Lemon Risotto on their website a few weeks ago as their favourite recipe of the week. It’s a recipe from my cookbook Home Made.
Thank you Terrain for putting my work out in the spotlight so much.
Terrain Home Made
My husband Oof Verschuren just received a nomination for Best Photography, for our Home Made WINTER book! We are so happy and excited!
Every December our Aan de Amstel restaurant, composes a wonderful 3 or 5 course Christmas take out dinner menu. You only need to heat it up at home on Christmas day, so you don’t have to cook or miss us when we close up for the holidays.
Just order the menu, with or without all the wines that go with it or not. It’s up to you. You can pick it up on Christmas eve or we can deliver it at your doorstep.
You see: easy does it!
You can see & download the menu here (in Dutch) and you can place your orders here.
Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Yesterday evening and next Tuesday december 13, Herman den Blijker, TV chef extraordinaire, Peggy Thaens, winner of Topchef and owner of a fabulous Hotel in Belgium and I were the jury in a Dutch TV show called: Herman zoekt Kerststerren on RTL4.
A show about the search for the best X-mas menu of Holland. We’ve tasted more than 100 dishes, but we think we found the best ones. We had a tremendous load of fun.
Papercuts for Seasons
Seasons magazine asked me to make a portrait of their monthly columnist Vicky Stork. Every month she talks about all the things that are happening on her little farm & vegetable garden. I made a cut-out of Vicky feeding her chickens and some plants from the allotment and things like that.
