As a recipe developer and food photographer, I have always had two big dreams: to write my own cookbook and to photograph a cookbook. The latter dream became a reality in late 2023 when I was asked by Ruud Gossens and Mignon Rutten of Mindgains to take on the photography of their recipe book. Yes baby, por supuesto!
Healthy body and healthy mind
Together with daughters Noé and Lily, Ruud and Mignon have been inspiring people to live more active and healthy lives for years. Here, not only nutrition and the body, but also mindset are central. All this they manage to combine with parenthood and busy jobs next to their company, which in combination with their enormous drive, passion and positivity makes them a great source of inspiration. Not only for me, but also for their huge community.
60 nutritious recipes
We shot 60 recipes spread over 4 shoot days, resulting in - besides an endless pile of tupperware in the fridge - a beautiful tome full of (healthy) food inspiration.
