What a delightful and unique cookbook for kids! In an apartment block, each of the neighbours is preparing a special dish for a communal dinner. We see a beautiful illustration of each cook, including children, preparing their food. On the opposite page, the simple recipe is represented visually. Each ingredient is illustrated with quantities, making it easy to know what you need. The method is also very simple. The illustrations are charming and colourful, and the recipes are delicious.

My family has now made four of the dishes, including the guacamole and the black bean soup. My ten-year-old daughter has cooked the Spaghetti al Pomodoro on her own a number of times. Recipes include party food such as mini quiches through to starters, mains and dessert. Cuisines featured include Indian, Italian, Japanese, Greek and more.

This easy cookbook comes highly recommended for foodies of all ages. The food will taste even better when shared with family and friends!
