Met Verskombuis lewer George Weideman 'n kombinasie: Poesie en kos praat hier saam, met en oor mekaar om 'n watertandlekker veelgangmaaltyd te bied vir die fynproewer van voedsel en vers. Die resepte is oorwegend deur die digter self ontwikkel en tussen die proe en probeer deur neergeskryf - doudagdisse, hoofdisse en toekos, slaaieen agteroppies. Die bundel word afgesluit met 'n besondere vyftal outydse poedingresepte wat uit die kookboekie van ene Anna Maria Kersop met die datum 1879 oorgeneem is. Die verse uit Weideman se kombuis handel soms die heerlike bestanddele soos granate, eiervrug, sampioene, dadels en turksvye, soms oor besondere geregte, soms oor goeters wat in die kombuis gebruik word ("Tot lof van die lepel"), soms oor eksotiese geregte soos Imam Bayildi en borsjt, maar soms ook baie gewone lekkertes uit die kombuis, soos "Opstaankoffie", "Aanbrandsel" en "Broodbak". En wie sou nou kon raai dat 'n kalbaspampoentjie soveel stuitigheid kan oplewer? Verskombuis is 'n bundel wat proe-proe met keurige wyn geniet kan word, maar soms ook met groot happe verslind sal kan word!
