Faruq really wants to be a chef when he grows up however, his family want him to be a doctor. He spends time during the day with his Grandma and watches what she does when she cooks. His Grandma tells hime to stay away from the small chilli peppers, wiri wiri peppers are very hot.
Faruq plays in the garden and meets the next door lady who shows him how to cook using plants which grow in the garden. When his Grandma is ill Faruq makes a tasty soup which his Grandma thinks the lady next door made. This leads to Faruq making a feast for the family.
His family are shocked when they discover that Faruq has cooked the food and that he knows where different plants grow in the garden that can be used for cooking.
A great book which can be shared with a young reader. Also a good introduction to cooking from Guyana.
The bonus is that there is a recipe at the back of the book for lime cookies, I tried this and mmmmmmm tasty. The lime really comes through. A crisp biscuit which is good on its own or with a sweet dessert.
