Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street: the children’s cookbook recommended by Ottolenghi and Nigella

Product Information

Sala was careful not to be too specific in her multicultural representations. “I didn’t want to play too much to stereotype,” she says. “Firstly, because many of the dishes belong to many places, but also because each child will have a different reality of multiculturalism. Some kids will love seeing a dish that their parents might cook, but some won’t care where the different characters come from.” ACELA1478 Understand how different types of texts vary in use of language choices, depending on their purpose and context (for example, tense and types of sentences) Could you guess what country some of the recipes originate from? How did you know? Could you tell by the ingredients or by the illustrations or were there other clues you found? What were they?

When reading through the recipes did you find any ingredients you had never heard of before? Search where it comes from.This eye-catching, mouth-watering cookbook beautifully evokes the joy of food and its power to unite. Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street is bound to be a favourite in every child’s house, giving, as it does, ten recipes for delicious food to cook and share. It’s a beautifully illustrated book and the pleasure starts immediately you open the cover ... The deep, soft colours, the wonderful faces and rooms, are so detailed and interesting, it’s almost as if each picture is just waiting to be walked into ... A book to be kept.

The perfect cookie for kids and grown-ups alike. I may have shared several of this batch with some girlfriends over coffee as we set the world to rights recently. Find a recipe with the same title in another book or an internet search. Compare it to the other recipe. How does it differ? Which one would you prefer to make? Why? (less steps, sounds tastier etc).

Write the recipe out clearly with the title, ingredients and method (use different colours to highlight each section). You may like to number the steps of the method to make it clearer. Au 10, Rue des Jardins (Cambourakis, 2018), Published in UK/AUS as: Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street (Scribble Kids Books, 2019) and US as: What's Cooking at 10 Garden Street , (Prestel, 2019) The book provides a fantastic tour of international cuisine and there is a lot to talk about in each apartment … An enchanting book that can be used in different ways.

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 children and would deem it gift worthy. (Obviously non-veg*ns/most families wouldn’t have this quibble.) A delicious collection of recipes, beautifully illustrated and collated in a way which honours ingredients, sharing and love of 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.
