Bert Kreuk Art Flipper

Looking at art, and later on collecting it, was successful entrepreneur and business man Bert Kreuk’s way of relaxing. He studied a world that fascinated him to no end, but whose insiders would revolt against his presence when it turned out that he would not comply with the ‘unwritten rules’ of the art world. This soon gave him the patronising label of ‘art flipper’. He was accused of trying to get rich dealing in art, even though he had always been open about his purchases and sales, and refused to be

He encountered increasingly more dubious deals, shrewd tricks and downright lies. His admiration turned to bewilderment. In Art Flipper, Bert Kreuk tells us all about the fascinating world of the international art trade.

Philip Meelhuysen 40+ Homo’s Gay Midlife Taboo-breaking book by an experienced expert

In his early twenties, Philip Meelhuysen moved to Amsterdam, where he studied Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.

He specialised in International Relations. After graduating, Meelhuysen spent several years living and working in London. He worked in project and program management, and made a name for him-

The book 40+ Homo’s: Gay Midlife offers the reader a look into the enjoyable, but at times difficult, lives of gay men who are no longer part of the younger generation.

During their mid-life period, they face challenges that are different from those of their straight contemporaries. What do you do when people stop looking at you?

What changes when your looks disappear, and how quickly can all of this happen?

self as an e-commerce and on-line manager at different multinationals in the Netherlands. 40+ Homo’s: Gay Midlife is his first book.

• Do gays have a different mid-life period?

• Daddies and other gay labels • Peter Pan and the 40+ Party Boys • Less sex, more drugs

Title 40+ Homo’s Author Philip Meelhuysen Dutch title 40+ Homo’s – Gesprekken over gay midlife Paperback 14 x 21,5 cm Size 256 pag.

Meelhuysen discusses these issues in chapters about the body, media, stereotypes, going out, being single, relation-

ships, on-line dating, sex and role models. Gay mid-life is a taboo subject, but it is an increasingly important theme for gays during the middle part of their life. In his book ‘40+ Homo’s’, Meelhuysen compares the existing theory about gay midlife with his own experiences, those of the fifteen 40+ gays he interviewed, and those of over one hundred mid-life gays who participated in an on-line survey.

40+ Homo’s is a good read, certainly also interesting for younger gays and straight people, who could learn a thing or two from 40+ gays.

Joost Duisterwinkel Slow! 175 recipes for the slow juicer

Healthy juices are very popular. Juicers have never sold this well before. In a slow juicer vegetables and fruits are crushed and squeezed gently at a low speed (but with quick juice result). This produces high-quality juice in which minerals and enzymes remain intact. Of course you can also make smoothies and still benefit from the advantages of slow juicing.

Slow! contains 175 recipes for exciting combinations. Not only the juice, but also the remaining pulp is used in inspiring recipes. This way the entire fruit or vegetable is used and nothing is wasted.

Apart from the traditional recipes, Slow! also presents recipes for sauces, soups, dressings and other tasty things!

Joost Duisterwinkel is the founder of Versapers. After learning about the phenomenon of slow juicing in Thailand, he decided to develop his own slow juicer. Now Versapers has grown into an international company.

POMPOEN

Title Food Pairing Author Angélique Schmeinck Dutch title Smaakvrienden Hardback 24 x 24 cm, full colour

De familie pompoen is onvoorstelbaar groot. Met oneindig veel variaties in vormen, kleuren en formaten. Om de familie uit elkaar te houden zijn ze ingedeeld in zomer- (pattison, courgette) en wintersoorten (reuzenpompoen, hokkaido, spaghettipompoen, flespompoen, eikelpompoen) of volgens de drie belangrijkste takken: kalebassen (meestal voor decoratie), courgettes en pompoenen. Favoriet is de knaloranje hokkaido, breedrond van vorm en zo’n 1-2 kg zwaar. De pompoen heeft een stevige consistentie, smaakt vol en nootachtig en het vruchtvlees bevat nauwelijks vezels. Hij komt van het Japanse eiland Hokkaido en is een kleine variant van de reuzenpompoen.

Van pompoenen kun je vrijwel alles gebruiken. Zo is er pompoenpitolie, kun je de bloemen verwerken, de pitten roosteren en zouten en het vruchtvlees gebruiken voor zowel hartige als zoete gerechten. Wat ze allemaal gemeen hebben is een toegankelijke, zoetige smaak en dat maakt haar een allemansvriend. Over het algemeen geldt hoe groter de pompoen, hoe flauwer de smaak. De groen gekleurde zijn vaak wat zoeter dan de oranje soorten.

‘Fast paced’ – Noordhollands Dagblad

No human being is without a mendacious streak. Most of us manage to control it, but some…

When the disappearance of Lodewijk de Graaf, CEO of De Graaf & De Jong solicitors, is deemed a crime, the case ends up at the desk of inspector Bianca van Dijk.

Several motives are considered. A business argument, a lavish inheritance. But none of these seem to apply. The disappearance remains a mystery.

Battling a demanding job, motherhood and a disintegrating marriage a case with

no clues is all Bianca needs. When she and her colleagues contemplate closing the file the mutilated body of real estate developer Onno van Schijndel is found.

The investigation leads to an old farm with in its basement the remains of Lodewijk de Graaf. It seems he has been buried alive.

Igor Znidarsic moved from Slovenia to the Netherlands at a young age. He is a journalist writing for HP/De Tijd, NRC Handelsblad en De Groene Amsterdam. Dud is his first thriller.

Bianca and her team find out Lodewijk and Onno were at school together and this is the onset of a race against the clock as the probable perpetrator is set on making a third victim.
