Books on Sunday: Learning by doing - Eloise van Oranje

-

Recently I bought the Dutch book Learning by doing written by Eloise van Oranje.





Eloise, who?


Countess Eloise of Orange-Nassau (born on 8 June 2002) is the first child and 
eldest daughter of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of The Netherlands. 

She is thus a granddaughter of former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and
Prince Claus.

She also is the great-granddaughter of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and
Prince Bernhard. 

Her maternal grandfather is Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, a retired Dutch politician
and jurist. 

Eloise is a member of the Dutch Royal Family and fifth in the line of the
succession of the Dutch throne. 

She is active on Social Media as Eloise of Orange. However due to her studies
she now is less on Instagram.


The Book Learning by doing


I was pleasantly surprised by reading the book: Learning by doing. Although
Eloise is a young enterprising girl, it even was interesting for me.

In her first book she talked about her student life, her love for vintage fashion,
her favourite make-up and care products and about her love for food.

I found the last chapter, with the recipes really interesting. I'm not a great
cook, but I'm going to try out some of them.  

I hope Eloise of Orange will write more books like this and perhaps in English
too. 

It's always very inspiring when young royals as Eloise of Orange write such
a lovely book. 


About the book

The book is published in June 2021 by CLF Media. 



ps. I'm  not a great cook but even I could make some recipes from the Eloise's book.
They are very well explained. 
😀👍
