A Year in Fleurville cover

From Felicita Sala comes this exquisite sequel to the bestselling Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street.

In each garden, someone is tending to their produce. Maria is picking asparagus, Ramon’s mum is watering the cucumbers, and a gaggle of kids are eating cherries fresh from the tree and even wearing some as earrings!

Meet the many people of Fleurville, delight in their harvests, learn their recipes, and find comfort in the cycle of the seasons.

A Year in Fleurville is a cookbook, a mini guide to gardening, and a picture book rolled into one. This glorious celebration of community is filled with recipes from all over the world and with simple instructions perfect for young chefs.

‘A celebration of the role food plays in community life.’

-- Imogen Carter * The Observer *

‘The recipes sound delicious and the illustrations glow. A lovely book for any young gardener or cook of age 7+’

-- Sarah Webb, author of A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea
