WARNING: THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOU HUNGRY
It’s a big, tasty world out there—and this book takes kids on a tour through the cuisines of 14 countries, complete with a recipe for each one.
What a great way to show kids that food isn’t just limited to chicken nuggets and French fries. My favorite parts are the maps of the countries showing which ingredients originate from. It’s incredible how the same ingredients can be put together in such different ways. And I finally found out what hummus and falafel are made of (chickpeas in different forms).
The food in this book looks fantastic, but I have no interest in trying any of it. I am a very picky eater. So is my niece (Picky Eaters Unite!). Here’s a bonus Frazz comic for all the picky eaters out there.
If you want to find out what real kids think about food from around the world, check out Kids Try/HiHo Kids on YouTube. The link below will take you directly to a playlist of kids trying food from different countries. Countries such as Vietnam, Australia, and Jamaica, etc.
