Publisher’s Blurb:

Imagine a book that transports kids thousands of miles away with the fresh, healthy dishes of different lands. This book leads little people to explore countries and cuisines to try themselves. Simple recipes, using fresh, healthy and easy-to-source ingredients, with suggested substitutions, will open up different tastes, aromas and cuisines.

 

My Thoughts:

This is a great beginning cookbook for kids. The instructions are very clear, with notes for where adult “sous chefs” are needed. The book gives a basic list of utensils needed, as well as an overview of organization and cooking techniques. Important skills such as chopping, cracking eggs, grating, measuring, etc., are clearly explained, with photos and illustrations.

 

Recipes are organized by continent and country, with insights into cultures and traditions behind the foods. I particularly enjoyed the explanations of different types of rices and spices.

 

Overall, this book teaches a bit of geography as well as giving some tasty recipes for budding young cooks. I can’t wait to get my daughter into the kitchen!
