A Taste of the World: Celebrating Global Flavors is a cookbook geared toward children in the kitchen, and includes recipes gathered from areas all over the world. It includes some hints for cooking with children, and notes for making the dishes successfully. However, all of the recipes require an adult in the kitchen. This isn’t a bad thing; rather, most of us don’t spend enough time with our kids, and this is an invitation to spend some quality time with them.

Scherer has included dozens of mouthwatering dishes, many that wouldn’t appeal to most children, but recipes that will give them the excuse to taste new things. Most of the dishes are very appealing to adults, and even though this cookbook is geared toward children, I love it and I love the recipes which are very temping and are definitely mouthwatering.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions. There are also comments at the beginning of each recipe which are not only helpful, but educational. This is a cookbook that is well-written and will tempt all of us, older children and adults, to curl up in a corner and read it cover to cover. Even though I’m an advanced cook, have had years of experienced in the kitchen, and traveled to most of the countries where the recipes are from, I fell in love with this cookbook and want to learn more about the countries featured and feed my friends and family the yummy dishes.

All told, even if you aren’t a child, or don’t have one to give a copy as a gift, this one makes an excellent addition to the cookbook shelf.
