I love the illustrations and story of this book. My 3 year old really loves it, and requests it nightly. She has lots of it memorized and always yells "Fifteen minutes!!!" when we get to that page. A wonderful story about community and food and using what you have.

I really loved the spirit of this book. 5/5 for message and story but the pictures were a little subpar.

I found this book at work today, and my co-worker and I read it together. We LOVED it! What a great message--folks working together to make the tastiest foods they can. The pictures are so beautifully done, they almost pop off the page! There's a cute rhythm to the way the story reads, too! And we both LOVED the inclusivity of the book!!!

A picture book about a community kitchen with gorgeous, whimsical illustrations. Includes a diverse representation of characters, including disabled characters.

A wonderful book based on the real-life experiences of the author volunteering in a community kitchen, making dinner one night a week with whatever ingredients they had available. Also, this book has a beautiful diversity of individuals in the illustrations - different sizes, shapes, skin color, age, etc. Violet loves this book so much, she reads it to put herself in a calm, happy place before bed.
