“A beautifully illustrated recipe book for children (or anyone, really)... Simply sweet.” - Yotam Ottolenghi
This beautifully illustrated cookbook for children offers a global menu of dishes to share with friends, family and neighbors. Garden Street smells fragrant! In house number 10, Pilar is mixing gazpacho, Mr. Ping is frying broccoli, Señora Flores is preparing a pot of beans, and Josef and Rafik are rolling meatballs. Other neighbors make mini quiches, baba ganoush, dhal and peanut butter cookies. When everything is prepared, everyone gathers in the garden and has a big party with delicious food and good company. Each double page spread in this picture book contains a recipe from a different culinary tradition. Dishes that kids have always loved, like guacamole, spaghetti and banana bread, can be found, as well as dishes with lesser-known ingredients like mirin, tahini and turmeric. The recipes explain how to prepare each dish and provide fun and detailed illustrations. Combining simple, fresh flavors with recipes from around the world, this book will inspire aspiring chefs (and their adult helpers).
