4 cool cookbooks
du moment
If I had a few more hours in my day, I would open a cookbook much more often and take my pans out of the cupboard. It happens quite often that I pass by my favorite salad bar Venkel on my bike. It's late then and I just want to eat quickly. Seriously, I go there too often. I hardly need to order anymore because I always choose the same: salad Appelhoentje with chicken and lentils. It's even the case that I call on my bike that I'm coming and usually it's ready by the time I arrive. It's spoiled behavior, but I'm doing myself a big favor.
Okay, back to the cookbooks. I have about 25 on my shelf and they only come out on the weekends. I always have periods where I use one book a lot, just like with a song. I play nothing else but that one track for weeks. Now Jamie is often lying on my counter again; recently I made (on the weekend, of course) divine chicken and his ‘sexy salad’ with figs. At number one is the book by Rens Kroes the best-selling cookbook in years (maybe of all time?) and I eagerly await part two because I'm craving more Rens. The ladies of Chicks Love Food have also released such a nice book with only dishes containing five (or fewer) ingredients. I love it, I'm not into the extremely complicated. But with good (and healthy) products, right, you know me!
Today I share 4 cool cookbooks that just hit the shelves and are real recommendations.
Good Food
Become the best version of yourself in no time. Look, that's what we all want and that's where nutrition coach Laurianne Ruhé helps you. In this book she gives tips and inspires you to make just a different (and healthier) choice. Besides tips on what should and shouldn't be in your pantry, she also provides a lot of delicious recipes. For this, you shouldn't be averse to an überhealthy kitchen.
Oatmeal
Pascalle and Matthijs agreed on their first date to eat oatmeal for breakfast somewhere. Then they fell in love and especially dived into the kitchen for recipes with oatmeal. That kitchen is now called the oatmeal lab. From crackers to apple pie, from chips to bread and soup. Everything made from oatmeal. I think it's a really fun book with very nice recipes that are also really very tasty.
Rachel Khoo's cooking magazine
She was born in London but studied at Le Cordon Bleu, the cooking school of Paris (once a dream of mine) and has drawn a lot of her inspiration from French cuisine. Look, I'm already sold on a girl like that. She also has her own cooking show on the BBC and I could have that on all day.
The book has recently been translated and is in stores, and I am also very happy about that. In this cooking magazine, she shares recipes that she has written in her own notebook over the past time, and these are dishes from all over the world. A very fun and funny girl I would love to be friends with.
From Pauline's kitchen
“Cooking doesn't have to be that complicated at all.” And that's just how it is. Pauline writes incredibly easily, so the dishes are almost impossible to mess up and quick to prepare. I think we need that. From breakfast, snack, lunch to dinner, all to enjoy immensely. Here you can buy it.
