I have finally discovered a Dutch cooking diva!
For years I have been watching great British cooking television, especially Saturday Kitchen. I always wondered why I could never find Dutch cooking shows to watch and love.
The passion for fresh ingredients, their sincerity and their inspiring amount of knowledge meant that I fell in love with many TV chefs like Jamie Oliver, Nigella, James Martin and Paul Hollywood. Now that the Great British Bake Off is on, I just started baking again. It is safe to say that the BBC has a large influence on the food I cook.
Since August 17th Yvette van Boven has her own cooking series on Dutch public television, marking a significant event in Dutch TV history.
This is a lady that can inspire the masses! Both the experienced cook and the beginner can learn from her show. She gives you confidence by making cooking look easy, she inspires you to use every resource and she makes me feel extremely hungry.
Yvette strikes the delicate balance between being green and ecological while keeping it affordable and practical. She shows you how to make showstoppers like homemade Cherry beer without making it endlessly complicated.
Some of my favorite recipe’s so far are:
- A mouth watering hot milk cake that anyone would dare to make
- Home made honey ginger ale, made from scratch in 2 days!!
- Smoked makerel, in 2 minutes she shows you how simple smoking real
