This globally minded addition to a series of American Girl cookbooks features ambitious recipes for budding foodies. Passport stamp graphics introduce four sections that explore snacks, soups and sandwiches, rice and noodle dishes, and beverages and desserts. Gerulat's color photographs feature multicultural girls preparing and enjoying the meals, along with images of the completed dishes. The more than 50 recipes include Moroccan-spiced chicken skewers, cheese fondue, potato latkes, Mexican chocolate pudding, Hawaiian shave ice, and sushi. Each recipe includes a brief description of its origins ("Savory turnovers called empanadas are popular snacks in Latin America. They're super-portable, so they're the perfect finger food for a picnic or a party"). With warmth and enthusiasm, the editors urge readers to broaden their palates and their curiosity about other cultures. Ages 8-12. (Apr.)
