The International Cookbook for Kids by Matthew Locricchio
This fun children's cookbook compiles sixty classic recipes from Italy, France, China, and Mexico. Each recipe includes a cultural history of the dish being made as well as step by step directions that are simple enough for young children to follow. One interesting idea that Loricchio includes is a special safety section in consideration of the young chefs for working with dangerous kitchen tools. I like the idea that Locricchio incorporates fresh and nutritious ingredients for healthy eating. This is one way to get kids thinking and eating healthy by making the choice among other nutritious options. Every recipe has a bright picture that makes the dish look mouth-wateringly good. The back of this cookbook also includes cooking terms and definitions which can be helpful because of the wide variety of diverse ingredients being used in the recipes. The end also has essential ingredients for the kitchen to make cooking a homemade meal even easier for families if they have the specified ingredients on hand before cooking. There is also currently a second book in this international cookbook series available for children. Overall this wonderful cookbook is a great idea to introduce the family to diversity.
Intended Age 12+
