This was a lovely story about following your dreams and overcoming family expectations and negativity. Faruq dreams of becoming a chef when he is older, and wants to help his grandmother with the cooking, but his family want him to become a doctor. In the story, Faruq gets the chance to learn to cook and prove his family wrong. The story celebrates Guyanese food and culture and I love that it also includes a real Guyanese recipe at the end which you can follow. The illustrations in the book are beautiful and vibrant, making them perfect for young readers. The story is engaging and the text is easy to follow. I enjoyed this read and would recommend it for children aged 6-10. I will be adding this to my Year 4 classroom book corner for the children to read and enjoy. This could be read to younger children by an adult or independently by more confident readers. I rated it 5 stars.
