An introduction to Cook & Book

Well, basically this is much more an introduction to me, Riejanne. As mentioned in the header, I'm a 39-year old female, living in the small city of Arnhem (Netherlands). I'm the owner of Cook & Book, a book store completely dedicated to cookbooks (or more specifically: books on the subject of food and cooking).

I'm not a professional chef, just a normal home-cook. My lack of skills is compensated by great enthusiasm and fearlessness. I prefer to make rustic comfort food - do not expect any fancy haute cuisine here, that's not me at all.
As long as I can remember, I've had a thing for cookbooks, reading them the way other people read novels. A few years ago, after realising to be totally fed-up with my high profile business career, I decided to turn cookbooks into a living - that day Cook & Book was born. Life hasn't been easy since, but definitely much more fun! Now I finally get to do the things I love most: cooking and talking and writing about cooking and listening to people talking about cooking.
I hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it. Let me know your opinions! And remember...

"There is too much talk of cooking being an art or a science - we're only making ourselves something to eat" -  Nigel Slater
