Being a culinary creator, restaurateur and writer, her career is at its peak at this point in time, with the release of her first work ‘Home Made’, a real book of art, awarded with the prize of best cook book of the year 2010 in the Netherlands. Yvette lives with her husband, Oof Verschuren, a fashion photographer.
  • Why is she an inspiration?
  • Yvette has a really likeable personality. Her passion for cooking, which she has transformed into a true life style and work of art, is beautiful to admire. Finally, the choice of not having children, in order to give herself the chance to ‘do everything that she has to do in this life’ simply deserves respect.
  • Which subjects are you going to tackle?
  • We will share with Yvette a part of the great adventure she finds herself in, a few months before the translation and then the international distribution of her book.

    TdF a la mission de nous prévenir lors de la sortie du livre de recettes en français d’Yvette ! Tellement passionnée par son métier, Yvette me donne l’envie de connaître ses recettes organisées autour d’une histoire ! C’est une nouveauté, habitués que nous sommes à utiliser des livres de recettes classiques ou à les imprimer d’Internet…Rien de poétique alors, c’est pour cela que l’idée d’Yvette est originale. Merci de nous donner l’occasion de la découvrir !
