A collection of 15 recipes from the inhabitants of 10 Pomegranate Street. Each recipe has a double page spread showing a scene of the residents preparing the food and a page with illustrated ingredients and the method.I liked the way this book had lots of different countries food and the end page shows them all eating together. The illustrations are beautiful, I love this author's style. The recipes are really nice and have a good proportion that are vegan, vegetarian or could easily be made so....

I would have loved this book when I was a child. The illustrations are outstanding and fun to view. I loved everything about them: the people, the foodstuffs, the garden, the building, the interiors, the colors, the parts & the whole.I wish this was an all vegan cookbook. I rarely read cookbooks anymore unless they’re 100% vegan. Many of the recipes in here are vegan or nearly so and all could be made vegan, but if all were presented as vegan I could wholeheartedly recommend this book to childre...

Note that it's also called Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street.I did not realize that it's more cookbook than story... but I actually love the concept and (mostly) the execution. I like the details, too, for example the man who cooks fish is named Melville....Unfortunately, it's not like a real recipe book, as there are few pictures of the finished dishes (how soupy is dahl?), no index, not even a table of contents.The theme of an apartment building, with diverse residents, having a community potluck...

Love the idea of the book and the illustrations are really nice and vibrant, but I wish there was a bit more to the text than just recipes. And I think mentioning the nationality of the dishes (in the text or even in a list at the back) would’ve been great.

A warm, beautifully illustrated celebration of community and culture, including simple recipes from around the world.

Recipes, a cosy and welcoming building with tons of fun people, and yummy food.I read this book in Dutch but wanted to post my review in English. Note, I will use the Dutch names for the people/street.Welcome to Granaatappelstraat, and then especially welcome to this big apartment-block.You will meet several people who live there and their families. And see the yummy foods they are making. Because everyone in this house is making something superdelicious (well, OK, I would have to adjust 1 or 2

Absolutely lovely! This is a recipe book but ALSO a story about cultural diversity wrapped up into a wonderful, warm, delicious bundle! What's cooking at 10 Garden Street? Lots of things! Mister Ping is making Sesame Soy Broccoli, Senora Flores is cooking up a pot of Black Bean Soup, and old Mrs. Greenpea is making her delicious Mini-Quiches. What is so neat about this book is that it not only has delicious recipes to try, but it tells the story of an apartment building that celebrates its ethni...

Steam rises from the kitchen windows as the neighbors all cook their dishes.  There's some soups, some vegetarian items, some salads.  Not only do these foods look delicious, but the recipes are easy to follow, and are also from different parts of the world!  Even the kitchens depicted offer a cultural perspective, as different family members cook and the decorations reflect their culture.  In the end, all neighbors come together for a large potluck, showing just how food can bring people togeth...

Crazy about this book! Visually rich, with recipes representing each of the diverse residents living at 10 Garden Street, the story introduces us to each apartment's residents and the foods they love, culminating in a huge feast in the garden. Fabulous. Sala is supreme!

This exquisite picture books has to be one of our favourite books of 2019. It is a tale of an apartment building where each of the residents comes from a different place. Some of the inhabitants of Number 10 Pomegranate St are inspired by real people that the author Felicita Sala met in her travels through Europe, Australia, Morocco, Israel and South East Asia. Each separate page features a story about one of the residents with an authentic recipe from their homeland that is child-friendly to pr...

Okay so this is hands down the cutest multicultural cookbook I have ever seen.

It doesn't look like it, but What's Cooking at 10 Garden Street? is more than a picture book, it's actually a cookbook! It is, however, told in storybook fashion, which makes this cookbook very child-friendly.Apparently, all the residents of N. 10 Garden Street are busily cooking. Their 15 recipes are included in this book and each page illustrates the ingredients as well as the chefs cooking up the international dishes...Read my full review and see photos of recipes here: https://agoodreid.blog...

This address, like a garden, is full of variety, existing and growing together in proximity. The address is an introduction to various cultural inhabitants preparing their individual dishes that they will later carry to a communal space to eat together at a large (round-edged) table.Each double-spread yields the place of preparation and the person(s) on the left and the recipe with food-illustrations of ingredients and instructions on the right. The residences are full of cultural ingredients th...

I don't think I've ever left a review for a recipe book before, but am a big fan of this. The kids love it (to the extent they want to read it as a bedtime story). The recipes are simple, but delicious, and it's beautifully illustrated. Everything we've cooked from here so far I'd happily cook and eat again. Even some simple veg recipes (like the Baba Ganoush) are amazing. In fact, this is tastier, and easier, than about 5 other Baba Ganoush recipes I've tried. Next time a famous chef suggests c...

So many readers rated this book so high! Am I missing something?The idea of the book was really, really good. However, adding recipes to a picture book, recipes that will mean little to many young readers, doesn't make sense to me. I think the story would have been awesome if it was told a little more simply.

An absolutely charming picture book with recipes, illustrated in a charming, deceptively simple style that is somewhat reminiscent of that of the brilliant Maira Kalman. It's a book that's intended for children, but it is really quite adult. There are lessons on many levels, depending on how you approach it.The multi-cultural inhabitants of 10 Garden Street each cook up their favorite ethnic dishes, and then all come together to share a delightful feast in the back yard. What could be better?I w...

Oh, my! I think everything's cooking at 10 Garden Street and I also think we all need to buy this book! Every double-page spread shows the tenants - grandmas and grandpas, singles, mothers and fathers, with children on the left, everyone chopping and slicing, dicing and mixing, blending and frying, and happy! On the right, beautifully illustrated ingredients explain exactly how to cook, "the recipe". At the end, ready, all gather in the garden of the apartment, to eat and savor. "Everyone's welc...

This book is so lovely, and delicious! The apartments at 10 Pomegranate Street are full of delicious smells as all the residents prepare something for lunch.The illustrations are gorgeous, and brief text introducing the residents makes this a book I would share with Primary students at story time. But it's also a book worth savouring, with delicious recipes from all around the world.A stunning combination, I love it!

Thank you Prestel Junior and PRHPS Kid's Corner for this free Advanced Reader's Copy. The following review contains my honest opinion:This is a big story told in a minimalistic way with only one or two sentences of story per page. I love the diversity that is highlighted throughout the book. The recipes contained within are illustrated and simple to complete. These recipes are good to use when cooking with kids in the kitchen.I recommend this book.

Cute! One side has picture of the apartment occupant(s) cooking and on the other page is their ingredients and a short method. I feel like this would be a good lap read for families. There's tons to talk about on each page, and you can read through the text and supplement with so many different things. Some of the recipes looked really yummy scrummy! The illustrations are gorgeous and it seems like a really fun apartment building to live in.
