A fascinating voyage of discovery through the flavours of the world!
How does food taste in different countries of the world?
This non-fiction book takes young readers on a journey around the globe: 13 children from different continents introduce their country.

Simple recipes typical of the country with step-by-step photos encourage children to try their hand at cooking. Child-friendly information about culture, everyday life and eating habits round off the country portrait.

“The author duo Paola Frattola Gebhardt and Leyla Köksal-Mergner have filled 120 pages with as much variety as knowledge: Each new country is an eight-page pleasure in itself, each visit to one of the children an immersion in a new world […] Looking beyond one’s own nose with curiosity, getting involved with new, unknown things: this is how one learns tolerance and acquires intercultural competence, even at a young age. And especially when it tastes as delicious as this journey through the cooking pots of the world.” – Andrea Wanner, titel-kulturmagazin
“This book is a bit of a “jack of all trades”, an all-purpose book that you can browse through in search of cooking ideas as well as out of interest in faraway countries, their inhabitants and typical characteristics. In any case, you can learn a lot – and do so all the more gladly because the travel guides are not teacher-like adults, but children whose individual lifeworld certainly has its own charm. Highly recommended and beautifully presented!” – Bernhard Hubner, Alliteratus
“Taste and Discover the World is more than a classic children’s cookbook with recipes from all over the world. With map, picture and text, the non-fiction book provides eventful insights into 13 selected countries…” – Béatrice Fivaz, querlesen
“Food, along with history, sights, people and their way of life, is also an essential element in getting to know countries and cultures. And that is wonderfully combined here. […] Page after page not only igniting travel fever, but also whetting the appetite. A treat.” – Janet Blume, Kinderbuchlesen.de
