‘Beautifully depicting an apartment building with people cooking food from all over the world … Really uplifting and charming.’
—Nigella Lawson

‘Part biography of an apartment block’s inhabitants, part children’s recipe book, each highly evocative illustration depicts a different resident or family in their kitchen preparing a dish ... the book is a wonderful celebration of multiculturalism and food bringing people together. It’s also a unique way to encourage independent readers who are would-be cooks.’
Imogen Carter, The Guardian

‘The world’s cuisines are brought together with some well-considered pencil strokes – a book for adults to drool over, as well as children.’
Amy Bryant, The Telegraph

‘This is such a lovely children’s book … with beautifully drawn recipes from green rice to salmorejo.’
—Bee Wilson, author of The Way We Eat Now

‘What a delightful and unique cookbook for kids! … The illustrations are charming and colourful, and the recipes are delicious … This easy cookbook comes highly recommended for foodies of all ages. The food will taste even better when shared with family and friends!’
—Angela Crocombe, Readings

‘This eye-catching, mouth-watering cookbook beautifully evokes the joy of food and its power to unite.’
—Frances Atkinson, Sydney Morning Herald

‘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.’
—Early Years Educator
