Journey across continents through the universal language of food

This beautifully illustrated cookbook invites children to explore more than forty countries through their unique culinary traditions and flavours. From Vietnamese pho to Nigerian jollof rice, Italian focaccia to Mexican salsa verde cruda, each page celebrates the diversity of global cuisines whilst revealing the ingredients and cooking methods that connect us all.

Written by award-winning food writer Gabrielle Langholtz and brought to life through the vibrant illustrations of Barcelona-based artist Tania García, this innovative cookbook features over 40 authentic, child-friendly recipes. Each entry includes simple, step-by-step instructions alongside lively illustrations of the finished dish, making cooking accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels.

The book thoughtfully balances quick thirty-minute recipes with more hands-on projects. A beginner-friendly section teaches essential kitchen vocabulary and skills, whilst special pages explore beloved foods like dumplings, rice, and frozen desserts, showing how these are enjoyed uniquely across different cultures.

More than just a cookbook, this is a celebration of cultural identity and connection – teaching curious children about the many ways cuisines are unique whilst discovering how much we all have in common.
