Learn about other countries while eating yummy food!

This book is perfect for curious kids and adults who like to learn and eat. The recipes are delicious (especially the chocolate fondue and the banana bread), and you get to learn about cultures, traditions and religions around the world while cooking. It's a fun--and delicious--way to learn about other people and other parts of the world. It also gives you a great excuse to have lots of fun parties, like Cinco de Mayo and Chinese New Year. (Now you don't have to wait for St. Patrick's Day to roll around!).
