Praise for Home Made Summer:

?Think of van Boven as the activities director of your own culinary summer camp . . . Home Made Summer is a happy book, fun to look at, fun to read. It’s downright frivolous, in fact. And that’s what summer is all about.”
? New York Times Book Review

?In the last two years, she has published three cookbooks, Home Made , Home Made Winter and Home Made Summer , that exemplify the indie spirit: They're filled with her illustrations and do-it-yourself recipes, like hand-cranked ice cream, from-scratch mustards and Dutch-style beef sausages and croquettes.” ? Food & Wine

?Flipping through the pages feels a bit like stepping into a fantasy land, one with jars and jars of citrusy-tomato mayonnaise awaiting crab cakes and stacks of powdered sugar-dusted ?ultimate puffy pancakes’ (topped with crme frache and berries in
lieu of syrup).” ? LA Weekly

?It’s tough to overlook the stunning savory dishes and focus on dessert, but dessert does not disappoint. We’ve chosen recipes that aim to mimic van Boven’s aesthetic: making the most of what’s freshest, and sharing it with those you love.” ? Serious Eats

?Think of van Boven as the activities director of your own culinary summer camp.” ? New York Times

?Yvette’s attitude, like her recipes, is lighthearted and friendly, her header notes charmingly personal, and her thorough instructions chatty and fun.” ?BookPage.com
