This cookbook for recipes from around the world chooses neither the
best foods nor the best recipes, but does include some odd and
interesting information about the history of what we eat. Dividing
the text into chapters on beverages, grains, soups and starters,
main courses, and deserts, the author includes a section on kitchen
safety and provides brief information on special ingredients.
Braman (Kids Around the World Create. Not reviewed), is a former
teacher, who states she has tested the recipes with fourth graders
and simplified recipes for young cooks. Maybe, but Baklawa
(Egyptian phyllo with ground nuts and coconut) and Injera
(Ethiopian flat bread) are not usually considered starter recipes.
Some information given is neither safe nor accurate. She suggests
cooking bratwurst in a pan over medium heat till lightly brown.
Gourmet magazine recommends simmering brats for twenty minutes
before grilling, or pan browning. Undercooked sausages are NOT
SAFE. Elsewhere, she describes New York egg creams, as `a
combination of eggs, cream, chocolate syrup and soda.` Most New
Yorkers will tell you egg creams have neither eggs nor cream. The
format is distracting for cooks, since the author introduces a type
of food, then gives some food history from other times and
cultures, lists ingredients for a specific recipe, gives the
step-by-step procedure, and then introduces a food from still
another culture. Line drawings and photographs appear throughout.
Some specialized cooking terms are defined in the glossary. Index
was not seen. An additional purchase where multicultural materials
are in heavy demand. (Nonfiction 10-12) (Kirkus Reviews)
