More and more vegetable forward dishes, I find. 

WHAT WE EAT:

Thanks for being here! I’m Sarah, I live in the Netherlands and I’m passionate about cooking and cookbooks.

On this blog you’ll find reviews of the cookbooks we actually use in our home. I review my brand new additions, as well as the classics we’ve been enjoying for years.

Cookbooks have brought me so much joy and support in all different seasons of life! In my happy single years I loved experimenting in the kitchen. Long hours behind the stove, with a glass of red wine, jazzy music and a new cookbook to discover… And when I met my husband and became a stepmom of two beautiful girls - cookbooks helped me navigate the transition into feeding a family of 4…

I’m not a chef by any means. Just an amateur enthousiast, who looks forward to chopping and stirring in the kitchen most nights. If you share this passion, I hope you'll find lots of cookbook inspiration here, for all seasons of life.

So pour yourself a drink, and dig in!

My lovely step daughters just left the nest and are off to university. So another culinary season begins!
