This delightfully illustrated children's cookbook offers a global menu of dishes to share with friends, family, and neighbors.

Something delicious is cooking in the old apartment building on Garden Street! Pilar is mixing gazpacho, Monsieur Ping is stir-frying broccoli, Señora Flores is preparing a pot of beans, and Josef and Rafik are rolling meatballs. Other neighbors are making mini-quiches, baba ganoush, dhal, and peanut butter cookies. When they're all finished cooking everyone gathers in the garden to enjoy a delicious meal and each other's company. Each inviting spread in this storybook offers a recipe from a different culinary tradition. Dishes that kids love, like guacamole, spaghetti, and banana bread are interspersed with others that include less familiar ingredients, such as mirin, tahini, and turmeric. The recipes explain how each dish is made and come with fun and detailed illustrations. Combining simple, fresh flavors with recipes from around the world, this book will nourish and inspire budding cooks while whetting the appetites of their more experienced helpers.
"A compendium for curious budding cooks of every stripe. Multicultural residents living in an apartment block on Garden Street are cooking up a global smorgasbord....For each spread, author/illustrator Sala renders delightful full-bleed pictures that showcase residents in action on the left and a visual recipe on the right. Each of these has detailed drawings of ingredients followed by easy-to-follow written instruction. With no more than six main ingredients each, the simple recipes feature global culinary traditions and fresh flavors...Part cookbook, part picture book, 100% delicious." –KIRKUS

"Sala’s illustrations are filled with wonderful objects to notice and a message that nothing draws people into fellowship like breaking bread together." –Publishers Weekly

"A first purchase, this picture book and cookbook mashup celebrates community, food, and culture." —School Library Journal

"Head over to 10 Garden Street to see what’s cooking and meet the diverse neighbors who come together like a family to not only share heartwarming food, but each other’s stories and lives as well.  Felicita Sala’s gorgeous and lush illustrations are part of what made this one of our most anticipated books this fall." –Avery & Augustine
