‘One of our favourite food books in recent years was Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street, so we were excited to hear about Felicita Sala’s new foodie picture book A Year in Fleurville.’

‘Stunningly illustrated … a well-loved addition to any library … remarkable.’

‘Charming.’

Filled with tasty recipes from all over the world, it has simple instructions perfect for young chefs. It also promotes a nice sense of community and family, and provides some good recycling tips. A practical and fun book for kids.’
