This is not simply a book about exploring the world of food; it is actually a book about the world and its varied cultures. The facts are extremely well researched, honest and eye-opening. The wonderful union of author and illustrator is wholly creative and engaging, with just the right amount of pertinent information, each one accompanied by a recipe, opening up the door to explore and be curious about cultures and peoples. I appreciate how it draws lines connecting one place to another through...
The countries were a bit obvious in choices, so I would have liked a little more than the usual suspects. I am grateful that every continent was featured but I think it would have been more interesting to do Sub-Saharan Africa. Oz got into finding out which country grew what though, so that was really cool
This lovely children's book has maps and information about 14 different countries and the foods grown and eaten there along with a child friendly recipe from each country. I love that the recipes are all for simple foods that children will enjoy eating and helping to prepare. I look forward to making them myself!
This review was originally written for The Baby Bookworm. Visit us for new picture books reviews daily!Hello, friends! Our book today is What’s On Your Plate?: Exploring The World Of Food, written by Whitney Stewart and illustrated by Christiane Engel, a cookbook/celebration of international cuisine for little readers.There’s a world of food out there, and chances are that what’s on your plate is not the same as children in other countries! So follow along as readers are taken on a tour of 14 co...
Muy delicioso! Take a trip around the world and read about foods grown, raised, or caught in that country. Learn about a few of their dishes. Make a recipe from each country. What a fun way to experience the world!Pretty Mediterranean heavy, but they do have amazing food in the Mediterranean. I appreciated that Chinese cuisine was broken into the different areas of China, and not grouped into one category. Of course I loved to see Thailand represented- and of course, we have great food. I can't
Nice idea but missed execution. Nothing from Indonesia, Polynesia, sub-Saharan Africa, Australia. At least there's an explanation of Chinese foods that makes distinctions beyond the Cantonese/Mandarin that is the only thing I've ever seen in restaurants in mid-America. Only 14 recipes. Maps unhelpful and should have been omitted in favor of more recipes and countries, or even pictures of more dishes. Drawings of children cute & diverse. Read for December 2020 "cookbooks" theme in Children's Book...
It covers 14 countries. Each has a colorful map that points out places of interest and landscape and food. There is a recipe for each country. One for the home library
Attractive and appealing survey of foods and favorite recipes from 14 countries. Each two page spread provides a brief historical background on the foods found in each country and how those were introduced. A simple child-friendly recipe for a typical dish is provided and a pictorial atlas with points of interest and locations where food is grown. A glossary in included in the back.Wonderful for classrooms studying different countries and cultures or for general interest.
An interesting culinary tour that includes locations not normally covered in kids cookbooks/food books
I loved it when the book talked about food they served in Mexico! I will use this to continue to discuss culture.
Love that pronunciation guide is right next to each word and not in a glossary in the back. Not the class read aloud that my teachers were looking for, but perfect for reading together parent and child.
Visually appealing text of food in different countries around the world
I liked this little primer to a variety of global culinary traditions. The author(s?) didn't shy away from explaining how colonization and imperialism influence food and culture, but being that this is a kids' book (and about food) it ends after mentioning it.All the recipes are fairly easy for kids to do on their own (or with a grown-up) and I even snapped a couple pictures of the recipes I want to try myself!
Each spread of this book tells of a new location. On the left side, there is a short historical description of the people who live there and what they historically ate. That same side also includes actual photographs of the food, a recipe, and a list of popular foods in the location. The right side includes a map of the county highlighting where in the country the food comes from. It is heavy in information and text, because of this, I could see it being used in the 4th-5th grade room for some s...
