I love the moments where the narrative is nearly wordless, and we are left with the images. The prologue of the book works largely this way. In other places, the images take up entire pages, but are also broken down into meaningful segments.

The art is attractive and the story is human and entertaining. Sometimes four, sometimes eleven, smaller images make up a page. This makes for a new way of approaching each page. The dialogue works with a similar variability.


The book is colorful and the protagonist, Yasmina, is a great young adult character. Perfect for comic book and graphic novel enthusiasts of many ages.

Excellent art style and interesting characters in a wonderful narrative arc. This was a real winner from the first page.

Yasmina is a passionate cook with a love for experimentation. When her vegetable sources get plowed over in sweeping commercialization, she finds herself looking for another solution.

The charming illustrations combined with Yasmina's feisty character immediately draw the reader in. Can't wait for Vol. 2!
