Gorgeous picturebook that feels like a warm hug. Lots of people live in the house at 10 Pomegranate Street and they all cook differemt things for lunch, often reflecting their ethnic backgrounds...and we lucky readers get to read those delicious recipes!
While the story is relatively simple, the illustrations contain details for the attentive reader...like who are romantically connected to each other, who enjoys music or art, where these delicious meals come from.
I love that the final pages show the neighbours sharing their lunch together in the back garden, eating, chatting, watching the children play together.

A warm, beautifully illustrated celebration of community and culture, including simple recipes from around the world.
The Bookseller
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
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
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
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
This delightfully illustrated children’s cookbook offers a global menu of dishes to share with friends, family, and neighbours … Combining simple, fresh flavours with recipes from around the world, this book will nourish and inspire budding cooks while whetting the appetites of their more experienced helpers.
Susie Q, Susie’s Reviews and Giveaways
Every page in this book has detailed illustrations with simple recipes that the children can follow. It would be such fun to help the young ones to cook this food that comes from different places around the world. FOUR STARS
Good Reading
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.
Gwen Grant, Armadillo
This eye-catching, mouth-watering cookbook beautifully evokes the joy of food and its power to unite.

Beautifully illustrated ... Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street is not just a cookbook, however, and tells a charming, simple picture story perfect for bedtime with little ones ... Ultimately, the book is about breaking bread with friends to build strong communities.
