Gr 3–6—This culinary tour is informative and fun, and includes tasty recipes from Mexico, France, Italy, Africa, the Middle East, China, and Japan. Cooking basics, tools, and terms precede the body of international recipes. Attractive, full-color photos show the steps involved and the finished dishes. Maps display the featured regions, and "The Coolest Ingredients" pages highlight common and specialized items found in the recipes. This appealing introductory guidebook to global cuisine earns a place next to Deanna F. Cook and Michael P. Kline's
The Kid's Multicultural Cookbook (Williamson, 1995) and Matthew Locricchio's
The 2nd International Cookbook for Kids (Marshall Cavendish, 2008). Children will relate to the easy-to-read instructions as well as the photos of their peers from around the world.—
