Recipes from balconies, rooftops and gardens.
In spring the people in Fleurville grow asparagus and then they make a delicious asparagus quiche. In Summer the cherries are ripe - time for a cherry clafoutis. High above the city peppers grow on a rooftop garden - perfect for those stuffed peppers. Now it is autumn and the pears are ripe. How about a plate of pear and ricotta pancakes.
My favourite pages in this scrumptious book come near the end where we see assorted seeds, gardening tools and a double spread of vibrant fruit and vegetables groups by seasons.
A Year in Fleurville is the companion volume to Lunch at Pomegranate Street. These are two books that should be in every school library collection and I think they would be wonderful to also have in your home library collection. Read some review comments here. There are so many benefits that come from cooking with your child and even more joy if the cooking involves produce from your own garden - large or small.
I love the illustrations in this book by Felicita Sala. She says "the illustrations in this book are made with watercolours, gouache and coloured pencils (with) hand lettering."
