Where Does My Food Come From?

Book Synopsis

A fully illustrated non-fiction picture book that lets readers discover how their favourite foods are grown and made – with exclusive recipes from Annabel Karmel for each one.

Images from renowned children’s artist Alex Willmore make each food cheekily spring to life on the page, telling the story of its creation to the reader. Find out how eggs, cheese, tomatoes, pasta, strawberries, honey and chocolate are grown and made, and enjoy the fun, step-by-step food activities in each section too. Best of all, Annabel includes two fantastic, child-friendly recipes for each food. They’re perfect for getting kids to create and eat wonderful meals with their favourite food – and for getting fussy eaters to try new foods too.

Our Review Panel says...

Children often charge to the chocolate aisle, but do they know their favourite treat started out as a bean? They might lap up ketchup, but can they guess how many tomatoes it takes to fill a ketchup bottle? Young learners will discover that llamas and camels have a hand (or hoof) in cheese-making, that bees spit runny honey from their tummies into honeycomb and beat their wings to make it thicker, and how strawberries can be used to clean teeth!

Each food selected is presented through an information section, a foodie craft and two delicious recipes to get children up-close to the ingredient they’ve been learning about.
