Food writer, chef and all-round culinary goddess,
Yvette van Boven knows how to entertain. Her impressive yet straightforward recipes made her first book,
Homemade, a huge hit. Since then Yvette has been flitting between her kitchens in Amsterdam and Paris to create more beautiful dishes, and in her down-time illustrating cookbooks and food magazines. Envious, us?
This time around, Yvette has gone back to her roots for a book of Irish-inspired winter party recipes called
Homemade Winter. Yvette's known for her quirky take on traditional dishes so don't expect these to be your average canapes - think
farls with smoked trout,
oxtail stew and beluga lentils and
salty, sticky toffee puddings to finish.
Impress your guests with these beautiful recipes...
