CHILDREN'S WORLD COOKBOOK

CHILDREN'S WORLD COOKBOOK by Angela Wilkes and Sarah Khan

With 4 daughters in our home, a lot of time has been spent cooking in the kitchen together over the years. All of my girls enjoy the art of cooking. I am constantly on the hunt for new recipes and new cookbooks for us to use, and when at a Paper Pie booth (formerly USBORNE), I picked this cookbook up. This is exactly the type of book that would have been grabbed and saved for a Christmas Book Box or added into our homeschool day paired up with a World Geography lesson.

USBORNE does a wonderful job of covering the pages with lots of pictures/drawings and step-by-step instructions for easy understanding, so success is guaranteed for our newly emerging cooks. In this particular edition, 27 different countries are highlighted. New spices, new textures, and new experiences are featured to expand knowledge and learning in the world of cooking. Each country starts off with a simple paragraph of information about it and then includes a small write up about the history of the featured dish. This book is very well done!

So how would I use a book like this? As mentioned above, it would be used for fun cooking experiences, alongside a geography lesson, or I am also thinking about Chinese New Year coming up soon. There are 2 recipes that would be fun to use when learning about the holiday. Any way you look at it, there's lots of possibilities!
