The Year’s 10 Best Cookbooks
—Details, September 2011
“This massive, gorgeously photographed, and illustrated tome filled with Dutch/French/Italian-inspired recipes and tutorials is much more than a cookbook; it’s a series of adventures for the culinarily inclined.” —Bust magazine
“Elegant photography by Oof Verschuren and clever page design make Home Made a delight to read, an invitation to explore, and, ultimately, a guide to appreciating the process as much as the product.” —Shelf Awareness
“Van Boven co-owns Aan de Amstel café in Amsterdam, which serves unpretentious food and warm hospitality. She’s also a writer, food stylist, designer, and illustrator—all talents put to good use in her beautiful new collection of rustic, globally inspired recipes.” —Bon Appetit.com
“The recipes are incredibly different in a wonderful way.”
—Linda Cicero, Miami Herald
“The vivid, beautifully composed photos will draw both budding and seasoned cooks to the kitchen.” —Detroit Metro Times
“[Yvette van Boven] is fearless in the kitchen, taking on everything from cheesemaking to preserving, infusing, and all sorts of other projects that are sure to expand your culinary horizons. . . . The recipes in Home Made are lovingly hand-lettered and illustrated by van Boven with pen and ink drawings and intricate paper cuttings including some pretty adorable talking lemons and anthropomorphized Swiss chard.”
—Serious Eats
“Author Yvette van Boven’s practical predinner drink recipes, preserving tips, and dessert menus jump to life with help from bold food photos and snapshots straight out of her kitchen.”
