On october 14th we launched our new book Home Baked. It was such a fantastic day! It took me a week to recuperate, so many people came to meet up! Thank you all for being so generous!

We started off in the morning. I baked up a workshop with a huge bunch of bloggers at the lovely Dille & Kamille Kitchen in Amsterdam. As I couldn’t take pictures myself (hands in dough, sticky fingers) I suggest you have a look at Hazel’s blog Cookie Cottage, Mariette at Zoetrecepten, Carola bakt zoethoudertjes, or Claudia from Smultuin. They took so so many! (and wrote kind things too!)

Anyway, here’s what the workshop looked like to me:

After that we went to the beautiful Café & Restaurant De Plantage, where Maartje and her crew took brilliant care of us. So many friends, family, press etc showed up! We almost ran out of books! It was an unforgettable day, it felt like it was my birthday or something like that. Thank you all.
Thank you Martin, my devoted publisher from Fontaine Uitgevers for your kind words (having a moment by himself in the first pic), thank you Oof for always being there and taking these pictures for me (again!) whilst saying hello to everyone (and having a moment by hímself in the sixth pic), Thank you to the girls from Humanoid for dressing me in this utterly fun outfit (who would have guessed that the skirt was made out of plastic waste found in Italian recycling bins??), thank you to Delicious. for your generous gift for the goody bag, Marleen and team from Bites We love for donating gifts too, Roy from Royal Green, for your goody bag gift and Joris & Syliva from The Lovely T. You all made this day extra special.

The book is now for sale in Holland, still warm from the oven. It will be translated in to German and English next year. I guess the translated books are to be expected early fall 2015.
