Help your child learn how food plays a part in our country’s cultural diversity. Each area of our country is noted for a particular food. Some, because of what is grown or raised in that part of the country; others because of its ethnic heritage. The flavors of American cooking are influenced by nations from all over the world.
In the cookbook, Cooking Around the Country with Kids: USA Regional Recipes and Fun Activities by Amy Houts, children learn what food is grown in different parts of the country. Featured recipes show them how to prepare distinctive dishes using the food. What better way to learn about each other than by sharing the foods and customs of different parts of the country?
Children will find their knowledge of American history and geography expanded. As a home-schooling mother noted: This has helped me explain the meaning of America as “The Great Melting Pot”.
Help your children experience the “melting pot” of our country. For more information about the book and ordering information, see http://www.imagesunlimitedpublishing.com.
