Artichoke to Zucchini
An alphabet of delicious things from around the world!
Sunday is market day. We are looking for pumpkin, apples, eggs, and bread. What else will we find? Where did it come from? And what will we make with it?
A is for artichokes and long spears of asparagus. It’s for bright, creamy avocados and salty little anchovies... Each spread reveals a new letter of the alphabet.
From apple pie to zeppole, and everything in between, Artichoke to Zucchini introduces young readers to fruit, vegetables, and dishes from around the globe. Full of tasty favorites and delicious new discoveries, it’s sure to lead to inspiration in the kitchen!
Following from the award-winning Off to The Market, acclaimed artist Alice Oehr takes you on a mouthwatering trip through the alphabet and around the world, full of fun facts, delicious new discoveries, and charming characters.
