A Taste of the World
A Taste of the World — A Family Cook-and-Learn Cookbook (12 Countries, 12 Weeks)
Bring the world to your kitchen table.
This cookbook started as a way to get through lockdown with my kids — one Friday a
week, we’d “travel” somewhere new without leaving the house. We’d pick a country,
learn a few fun facts about it, try saying a phrase together, and cook a family-style
dinner from that part of the world. It turned into the best part of our week, and
eventually into this book.
Inside, you’ll find 12 family-friendly recipes from Italy, Mexico, Japan, India, Morocco,
Thailand, Greece, France, South Korea, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Vietnam — one for each
week of a 3-month journey.
Every chapter includes: A full family-style recipe (serves 4), written for real
weeknight cooking Three kid-friendly facts about the country A phrase to
practice together at the table A hands-on kitchen job for the kids — stretching
dough, threading skewers, shaping dumplings, and more A spice-level note so you
can adjust milder or bolder for your family
It’s designed for parents who want mealtime to double as a little geography and culture
lesson — no lecturing required, just good food and good conversation.
WHAT YOU’LL GET • Instant PDF download (print at home or read on any device) • [XX]
pages, recipe-book formatted with a table of contents • Ingredient lists and clear
numbered steps for every recipe • A printable 12-week planning page to track your
family’s journey
WHO IT’S FOR Families with kids of any age, homeschool households looking for a
hands-on geography unit, or anyone who wants a fun excuse for a weekly family dinner
tradition.
A NOTE ON THE RECIPES Recipes are written at a medium spice level with notes on how
to make them milder or bolder — no unusual ingredients required, just your regular
grocery store.
This book comes from real Friday nights with my own kids. I hope it gives your family
a few of those nights too.
