This is a really fun cookbook for kids. It's full of color photos of kids cooking delicious food. We have made a number of recipes and loved them. Some that we loved: British Breakfast, Mealie Meal Bread, Coconut Bread, Real Ginger Ale and Mango Lassi.

This is a charming cookbook that should appeal to elementary and middle grade students. The recipes include lots of photographs of kids actually doing the cooking, and the dishes look yummy. Everything seems to be explained really well, making this a great choice for kids who are interested in trying something new but don't have great confidence in the kitchen yet. .I love the sidebars that include a little background about the kids featured in the photos, and I love the multicultural nature of this book. There appears to be a good range of s recipes in here, from super easy to challenging. At first glance, it does appear to be rather bread and carb heavy, but I probably should have expected that for a kids' cookbook!

Tasty recipes from around the world. They are not too hard where you can’t find the ingredients or have to wait for a delivery. The recipes are simple and I liked to help my kids out while making a few. It was both fun and educational.

Cooking Class Global Feast! is a cookbook that allows children to make and try recipes from around the world. The book begins with an introduction that explains why children should try food from around the world and continues with a list of recipes featured, which is broken down by location and difficulty of the recipe. The book continues with a series of nine lessons that cover topics such as kitchen safety, tools, ingredients, and cooking terms. In my opinion, this is an important feature that all children's cookbooks should include. The "how-to" sections include step-by-step instructions on what children should do to accomplish the task along with pictures of a child actually completing the task. The terms are accompanied by a brief definition and a picture related to that term. I believe that the combination of print and photographs is great because it accommodates children with different learning styles.
The recipes are separated into breakfast, drinks and snacks, lunch, dinner, and dessert. I appreciate that countries all around the world are included in each category. Overall, it seems that most kids will be able to find something in each category that they like. The recipes themselves include a photograph of the finished product, a description, an ingredient list, and step-by-step instructions, which are accompanied by photographs of each step. Again, I think that the step-by-step description and photographs are a great addition to this book. The variety of recipes is pretty good, however I was a bit disappointed by the foods that represented some countries (such as toasted cashews for Costa Rica). However, I still recommend this cookbook to those interested in global gourmet because many of the recipes are more in-depth.
I believe that this cookbook is a great selection for children that are interested in learning about global gourmet, or even cooking in general. I love the fact that the book begins with a section about general kitchen safety, terms, tools, and ingredients. The fact that the instructions include photographs is a major bonus.
I received a copy of this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Great recipes to introduce kids (adults too) to some international flavors and favorite recipes. Easy to find ingredients make the recipes even more appealing. Wonderfully photographed and well explained. I really appreciate that the cultures of different countries are embraced for my young chefs to learn about.
