“I always realize in the last step that the oven should have been preheated!"
"I have to read a recipe three times. In advance! And three more times while cooking."
Do these scenarios sound familiar? Text-based recipes work, but they’re far from perfect. Designers Maarten Janssen and Fabian Valkenberg came up with a new, refreshing way to solve this problem - by turning the recipe into a visual guide.
This box includes a booklet with explanations, tips, weekly menus, and 30 recipe cards. Full of easy dishes with just five ingredients - you'll have dinner in no time.
Designers Maarten Janssen and Fabian Valkenberg are convinced that simple and delicious cooking doesn’t have to be difficult. However, as a cooking novice and a cooking enthusiast, they shared a common frustration: why do you always have to read the recipe multiple times? They came up with the idea of putting recipes into a handy timeline that visualises the process.

REPEAT
Vegan recipes you will make time and time again
A couple of years ago, Eva Koffeman challenged her mother – author of vegetarian cookbooks Antoinette Hertsenberg – to eat vegan for an entire month. The transition from vegetarian to vegan cooking turned out to be a challenge she could not let go off. For four years, she had friends and family try her recipes and adjusted them until all the flavours were just right. This resulted in the creation of REPEAT: vegan recipes you will make time and time again.
From breakfast, salads, main and side dishes to desserts and drinks. These are the recipes Antoinette and Eva make time and time again. And so will you. Not only because they are vegan, but because they are easy, healthy, light and tasty.
Antoinette Hertsenberg has written several cookbooks with vegetarian and vegan recipes. Eva Koffeman was elected Youth Delegate of Biodiversity & Food at the United Nations and was declared Food Hero of 2021 by Food100. Koffeman now works as a copywriter at an advertising agency.

Tasty & Important: Cholesterol
5 steps and 50 dishes towards a better cholesterol balance
"High cholesterol." Sooner or later, many people come into contact with this silent killer. It usually involves an imbalanced cholesterol level: too much bad cholesterol compared to the good (yes, that exists too). Certain eating habits can help with this, potentially saving you from a lot of trouble. The right foods can even repair some of the damage your body has previously sustained. And if you can incorporate those foods into delicious dishes, then such an approach is not a chore, but a pleasure!
Sisters Annemieke Jansen and Janine Jansen are fervent advocates of the Mediterranean diet and have already written several books about this topic. Together, they show that a healthy diet can be tasty as well as feasible. Annemieke is a cardiologist. Janine works as a graphic designer, recipe maker, food stylist and photographer.

Schil de avocado, komkommer en wortel, en snijd deze alle drie in de lengte in dunne reepjes van ca. 10 cm lang. Besprenkel de avocadoreepjes met het citroensap (om verkleuring te voorkomen). Doe de groenten in een kom en zet opzij.
Klop in een andere kom de eieren samen met de mirin los (gebruik geen garde, want het mengsel mag niet schuimig worden). Breng op smaak met peper en zout.
Vet een koekenpan (ca. 26 cm doorsnede) in met de helft van de boter en verwarm deze tot 80 ˚C. Als de boter gesmolten is, giet dan de helft van het eiermengsel in de koekenpan en laat langzaam garen gedurende 4-5 minuten totdat het eiermengsel droog is (verhoog de temperatuur tijdens het garen niet; het mengsel mag niet bruin worden). Herhaal deze handelingen met de andere helft van het mengsel. Houd de gare eierpannenkoekjes warm en snijd van beide pannenkoekjes twee repen van ca. 10 x 18 cm.
Verdeel de groenten en de gekookte rijst in vier gelijke delen. Leg de vier eierrepen op je werkblad, en schep de groenten en rijst aan het begin van elk reep. Rol deze nu strak op. Gebruik hiervoor een sushimatje of gewoon

Edible and medicinal wild plants and their toxic lookalikes
Leoniek Bontje’s successful first book, Edible Wild Plants, explored edible and medicinal plants you can daily come across. During the wild foraging workshops she organizes, she often got questions about toxic plants that could be mistaken for edible ones and how to discern edible from toxic plants.
Mistakes can be easily made and are certainly not without consequences. Many plants are edible, but some are mildly toxic or even deadly, such as yew berries or foxglove. Other plants have specific instructions for use, like elderberries, which need to be cooked before consumption, giant hogweed and rue, which are phototoxic and can cause burns when exposed to sunlight.
With precise descriptions and clear photographs, highlighting similarities and differences.

Ponds and water features for every garden
Water plays a crucial role in creating a resilient garden, especially in our changing climate: it cools the air in the immediate surroundings and acts as a buffer during dry days. This book offers you inspiration for a low-maintenance pond, while also showing how to create small water features if you don’t have a large garden. Even washtubs and barrels can be used!
Expert Guido Lurquin shares valuable tips from his years of experience on how to keep your pond clear without technical gadgets, which animals you can attract, and other essential management aspects.
Pond specialist and water lily grower Guido Lurquin regularly writes for garden magazines and websites and provides advice to numerous pond companies.
