Modern Asian Baking at Home : Essential Sweet and Savory Recipes for Milk Bre...
Beautiful photography and a charming style, but not too many recipes I instantly wanted to tackle. I want to make every single recipe in this cookbook. I'm not sure if I've come across any other cookbook that I can make that statement about.
The recipes themselves are remarkably simple and feature the abundance of summer gardens. Among those I have tried are Basil Cantelope Soup, Salad with Fennel, Dates, and Parmesan, and Scallop Ceviche. Home Made and Home Made Winter blew readers away with their stunning packages, delicious recipes, beautiful photos, step-by-step instructions, and hand-drawn artwork throughout. Now, in Home Made Summer, Yvette van Boven takes the same signature approach and presents her absolute favorite recipes for spring and summer. Inspired by her childhood in Ireland and her frequent sojourns in France, van Boven has created a collection of recipes that will truly inspire you to step into the kitchen. An absolutely beautiful book that will make you beg for dinner parties on southern nights.
Home Baked: More Than 150 Recipes for Sweet and Savory by Boven
I was most interested in the syrups you could make and keep in the refrigerator and then put into water, seltzer or alcoholic drinks. There are other things I might try, but these just seemed like something I hadn't really seen before. The recipes were different and interesting and I look forward to trying more. Yvette van Boven is the author of the critically acclaimed Home Made, Home Made Winter, and Home Made Summer.
I did find a good recipe for using up some of the wild mint growing in my backyard. Packed with recipes for deliciously unpretentious, modern rustic food, The Tin and Traybake Cookbook is for everyone who loves to cook and eat beautiful food. The author took this project to heart and you tell by the tender loving care illustrated throughout. Full of whimsy and deliscious meals, desserts and summer drinks taken from her life in France, childhood in Ireland and ancestry from the Netherlands.
The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs: 100+ Sweet and Savory Recipes NEW
I was hoping for ideas which didn't require much cooking in the house. Recipes that were full of fresh produce or relied on the grill. It is pretty to look at and there are a number of interesting recipes I might try especially in cooler weather but I certainly would not buy this book. Another issue is most of Van Bowen's recipes are without any comments as to accompaniments, substitutions, etc.
For those of you who are looking for "healthy" recipes this isn't it as there is lots of butter and salt, no or few whole grains. Home Made Summer is a beautifully designed book. It's a cookbook written by Yvette Van Boven, with wonderful photography by Oof Verschuren.
I love reading the little quotes and stories that went along with some of the recipes. Also, thought the illustrated recipe pages were wonderful, a real homage to old southern cookbooks... Reminds me of something you might have seen in a community cook book picked up at a small town rummage sale. This is a really pretty cookbook but I get cookbooks for recipes.
It will leave you happy and slightly homesick to a country that you’ve perhaps never even been to. Will usually ship within 1 business day of receiving cleared payment. In this new book, Yvette cooks with the brilliant produce Ireland has to offer. Fom herbs and fruits which you can pick at the side of the road, to very free range beef and wild fish.
Curl and dig in, i guarantee you'll feel well traveled and hungry (thirsty!) afterwards. The next meal we had out of van Boven’s Summer was her Lebanese bread salad-fattoush and spicy labneh page 42. This was so flavorful, I would have liked the fattoush less sweet...but loved the spicy labneh.
Visually interesting, pretty amusing, I pretty much must buy this book. The layout is really cute, but the taste is somewhat esoteric. Other than a couple of great cookie recipes in the back and a lemon soda in the front, the recipes seem like more trouble than they're worth. This book wasn't exactly what I was expecting and I'm not really sure why. Some of the recipes seem strange to me and i just was disappointed by it but its hard to say exactly why.
She is the culinary editor for the woman’s weekly Libelle Magazine. The first dessert we tried was her zucchini cake and lemon glaze page 64. The glaze was amazing and I really enjoyed the raisins and currents inside the cake. (Of course, I love raisins.) Great way to use garden zucchini...hardly knew it was there as my husband would say, but it kept the cake very moist and was fun to make. Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. This book has lots of great photography and a few recipes I'll try.
Realistically the photos just can't make a cookbook. While Yvette Van Bowen promises dishes that don't take much effort in the hot kitchen in the introduction, she fails to accomplish that goal. The cold soup recipes often require an hour on the stove after chopping and sauteing. One of the recipes she includes is beef stew-sorry but that isn't my idea of summer food. Likewise corn risotto, sounds good but I am not going to stir a hot pot in the summer.

The second drink we tried was the Mint Lemmo page 79. The syrup is mint and lemon, when paired with club soda and a little squeeze of fresh orange juice and fresh lemon juice it tasted like the San Pelegríno Italian sparkling juices. The first dish we tried was a big risk for us...salad with fennel, dates, and parmesan with walnut dressing page 211. We surprisingly enjoyed it, it was a nice combo of flavors and it had a really great tang. In Home Sweet Home – new Irish comfort food, Yvette van Boven cooks the food from the country she grew up in. Ireland is the place she ate her very first meal, and where her love of food arose.
