Help your child experience the “Great Melting Pot” through food and the part it plays in America’s cultural diversity. What better way to learn about each other than by sharing the foods and customs of different parts of the country?
The cookbook, Cooking Around the Country with Kids: USA Regional Recipes and Fun Activities by Amy Houts, focuses on helping children learn how different cultures in America came to co-exist, yet continue to celebrate their uniqueness. By settling in different parts of the country, people developed distinctive dishes based on what was harvested and available.
