Cooking Around the World

Baking, salt-packing, pickling, frying, stewing, roasting, grilling. These culinary techniques are used in countries around the world today, but they each originated out of the necessity of a certain region and its people to create meals for themselves. Readers will be so enthralled, they won't guess they're learning social studies as they journey across the world from kitchen to kitchen through the pages this book. Accessible text and foreign-yet-familiar photographs teach how different and the same we all are when it comes to preparing food.
