The Ultimate DIY Cookbook featuring over 200 from-scratch recipes.  How do you make cheese from pantry staples? Or create an oven smoker from scratch in just two minutes? Or make ice cream without a machine?  In Home Made, Yvette van Boven shows you how, complete with step photos and illustrations.  While her recipes are rooted in a natural, from-scratch cooking philosophy, van Boven is never preachy―she believes that this way of cooking is fun and that the dishes simply taste better!  Chapters include Preserving Vegetables, Pre-Dinner Drinks, Chocolate and Cookies, After a Night Out, Ice-Cream-You-Scream, Don’t Forget the Dog!, and more.  Each chapter starts with a basic dish that you can make yourself, but usually don’t because you think it’s too complicated (think again!), and includes variations―basic bread becomes focaccia with olives and rosemary, or red cherry and thyme bread.  Written with a friendly, irreverent voice, this book will inspire you to make every dish at home.  Hardcover book.
