CookBook

Some of my favourite pics from Janneke's cookbook 'Comfort Food'. Foodstyling by Ingmar Niezen and Ulrika Gustafsson, pictures by Sean Fitzpatrick.

Janneke and i go way back, secondary school, Au Pair in Brussels. We lived in the same dorm during university, where i experienced her cooking skills. Good food 24/7, midnight pasta with friends, making serious diner for our parents. If that wasn't enough, at that time she dated a German guy, whose father had a Konditorei!

More about Janneke and her (Dutch) cookbooks on www.etenenzo.nl/comfort-food.

ComfortFood

How to make my girls happy? Baking cookies. The best and most simple recipe comes from 'Comfort Food' by Janneke Vreugdenhil, www.etenenzo.nl/comfort-food.

Les Brevettes

Lunch was a very important part of the day. At les Brevettes we had the best ravioli. I also loved the chalet style. The curtains, looking like warm blankets. We could use them in our bedrooms, pretty cold here.
