Review Quotes:
"Children will learn the origins of familiar foods such as pizza and burgers and make lots of new discoveries too. Each section includes a selection of recipes with easy-to-follow instructions, a clear layout and fully illustrated with attractive artwork. There is also basic information on equipment, techniques and staying safe." --Books for Keeps

"The book indicates if the recipes are suitable for vegan or gluten-free diets. The recipes are step-by step and are clearly presented. A perfect book for introducing children to international cuisine and for helping them to develop their cooking skills and learning about new cultures."--English Association

"We love this series of books from Button Books 'Kids Can Cook'... Recipes are very easy to follow in this illustrated cook book: try traditional dishes from around the globe like Empanadas, Goulash, Bao Buns, Ramen, Pavlova and many many more."--@the_treasure_outdoors

"This book not only encourages teens to make and eat the food they love from scratch (rather than buying the less-healthy takeaway version), it also provides them with life skills."--My Thrifty Life

"It takes children into a yummy tour around the world, featuring step-by-step recipes. It's divided by geographical areas and the recipes go from arepas to dim sum and couscous!"--@thekidsbookstagrammer

"With its bright, colourful illustrations and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, this book makes it easy for children to have a go at cooking independently. ...This book has a gorgeous cover with little foil embellishments and coupled with the gorgeous illustrations throughout makes this a perfect gift for any little chefs out there."--@family_book_club

"Kids Can Cook Around the World is a delightful, thoughtfully designed cookbook that nurtures independence, creativity, and a love of global flavours. It's a wonderful resource for families looking to make cooking a shared, enriching, and delicious experience."--@booksb4bedtime

"Kids Can Cook Around the World is a fun and visually engaging introduction to global cuisine... From poutine to pavlova, biryanis to bao buns, and ramen to risotto, this culinary tour is designed to inspire confidence in the kitchen and spark a love for global flavours."--@katys_book_shelf
