I found this book rather bizarre. It features recipes for fried eggs (ingredients eggs and oil), rice (ingredients rice and water), mashed potatoes etc... Apparently in Thailand children eat rice for breakfast, lunch and tea and in Ireland they eat plates of potatoes - just potatoes. Considering all the hundreds of possible recipes which come from these countries the author has summed up their cuisine a little too simply and done a great disservice to both the countries and to anyone who buys this book and thinks that is really all that is eaten. It made me question the rest of the information in the book which may have been correct. It does contain some nice little recipes but take the generalisations with a pinch of salt.

A great introduction to international food for young people.
21 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
Ms. Cook obviously put a lot of effort into this compilation of recipes and facts. She interviewed children around the world to find out about the things they eat, and pictures of some of these children are shown throughout the book. The book is divided into regions of the world by continent, and the recipes are rated for difficulty with spoons- one spoon is the easiest, and three spoons requires at least moderate adult help and supervision. Many of the foods turn out to be familiar dishes with different names (like Sherpa Popcorn and Ox-Eye Eggs), and there are ideas for theme parties (after-ski breakfast, ice cream buffet, etc.) throughout the book. I originally bought this book for my then-10-year-old sister, who was just beginning to show an interest in cooking, and now that she is 13 she still uses this book. A lot of these recipes are easy and quick enough to be used in a classroom or school cooking club. I bought a copy of this book for myself and think it is truly neat!

Taste the World!
1 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
Many of my family's favorite foods are "ethnic" so we thought we'd dive right in and discover what else the world is eating that we haven't tried yet. Just looking through the pages makes you want to start cooking! We'll be better prepared now, to dodge the familiar "What's for dinner?" with an enthusiastic response and a taste adventure. Children of all ages can prepare most of the dishes, and there are activities and trivia from several countries represented in the book. We decided to buy it after briefly looking through a library copy.

Around the world in your Kitchen
20 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a really fun cookbook. It gives a sampling of recipes from numerous countries around the world. It is also sensitive to availabily of ingredients, nothing strange or exotic that isn't available at the local grocers. Our kids have enjoyed cooking with it and we have certainly benefited from their efforts! It's great to see them going beyond Mac and Cheese and actually learning about cooking. They are already finding it is a creative outlet, that just happens to meet the need of eating.
