Passport on a Plate A RoundtheWorld Cookbook for Children Diane Simone Vezza Susan Greenstein 9781481488129 Books Reviews

• My kids got 3 cookbooks each for Christmas. My daughter got 2 on international cuisine as we just traveled abroad and I thought it would pique her interest. It did but she didn't like the way this book was formatted as much as the other book we bought. This one is organized by country/culture of origin. This makes it difficult for her to look up a main dish v a dessert without reviewing the whole book. Obviously not something you can't work with, just not the way she thinks. So if you are trying to do themed dinners or events then this would probably work well for you. Haven't tried any of the recipes yet so can't comment on how they are.
• I picked out all the non-standard veggie stuff to make, and enjoyed everyone so far. My daughter is cooking the more standard pastas etc -- and even her picky boyfriend likes them. A great cookbook!
• This is a wonderful book for teachers who want to teach about different foods from different regions of the world. Easy to follow direction. Recipes that range from easy for younger children to a little more complicated for older kids & adults. So stay at home or in your classroom and enjoy worldwide 'Cuisine!
• We love this cookbook and the variety of recipes from around the world.
• good price shipped quickly
• I Loved this book. The layout and content was exciting and fun, and I really wanted to make many of these recipes. The countries/areas/continents covered are as follows Africa, Caribbean, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Middle East, Russia, and Vietnam. The recipes vary in complexity with a guide for parents on how difficult and dangerous they were, and how much help kids might require. While some of the recipes were not exactly authentic (fortune cookies, after all, are neither Chinese, nor are they consumed there at all), but most were different enough to get a curious palette interested, but not so foreign as to alienate the slightly pickier eater.
  
  Each region gets its own mini-table of contents, separating the dishes by course (appetizers, salads, soups; main courses; desserts...) Each region also opens with a section about the cultures, tastes, available food resources, etc.; the writing therein is fun and simple, and I thoroughly enjoyed each aspect of this recipe book. I highly recommend this one.
• This book is excellent in many ways. I love the concept, the format, and the recipes chosen. The only reason I did not give this book stars is there are no photos. Considering that we are "traveling" around the world through this book, I would like my son to be able to see a snapshot or two of some of the featured locals, such as Russia, Japan, China, India, the Caribbean. I am also a big fan of pictures of recipes. Other than the lack of photos, this is an excellent book.
