'Venusian kitchen' is a love story about food. It is about the charm of cooking, the rapture when the scents are released when the lid is lifted from the pan, the full enjoyment of the presence of friends and family, the deliciousness of the food served and the first sip of wine which has just opened.

Author and stylist Henriëtte Tomassen and photographer Elsbeth Tijssen both believe in the connecting role of food. In this beautiful culinary photo book, the gratitude and love for food is expressed through photography, paintings, illustrations, poetry and stories. Stories about encounters, family ties and friendships, close to home or further away. And with the stories came the recipes.
