by Deanna F Cook (Author)
Food is a fun way to celebrate diversity, and in her new kids' cookbook, best-selling author Deanna F. Cook leads young chefs on a tasty tour of global cultures and cuisines.
Kids gain practical kitchen skills through preparing breakfasts, drinks, snacks, dinners, and desserts from around the world. Alongside recipes for foods such as Irish soda bread, ANZAC biscuits, ramen noodle soup, and mango lassi, step-by-step photography and profiles feature children from a wide range of backgrounds honoring their heritage and preparing dishes that reflect their unique food traditions.
A pop-out food passport, world language flash cards, and flag stickers provide additional fun on their global food journey, while infographics encourage taste-test explorations of fruits, drinks, breads, vegetables, and ice creams from around the world. Kids will be inspired to expand their palates as they cook, discovering new flavors while developing pride and appreciation for the foods they've grown up with.

Gr 4-6--The recipes in this book are a smorgasbord of dishes, treats, and beverages from around the globe, indexed by both meal and region. All of the typical cookbook elements are present: kitchen rules, tools, techniques, and terms. Unique features include lessons on pronunciation, global taste tests of international foods with pictures and descriptions, and suggestions for entertaining with an Italian antipasti platter or Middle Eastern meze. Each recipe is presented with step-by-step, full-color photographs of kids cooking; side panels introduce the young cooks with an overview of their heritage and favorite foods. With the cooking skills of an average 12-year-old, this reviewer made atakilt wat, an Ethiopian vegetable stew with carrots, potatoes, and cabbage. This meal required chopping and slicing, but it was easy to put together in just one pot and simmered on the stove top, creating an aromatic delight. The taste was beyond delicious. VERDICT A colorful feast for the eyes, this accessible cookbook highlights a variety of dishes, as well as people, traditions, and foods. Purchase where international cookbooks need an update.--Heather Acerro, Rochester Public Library, MN
