Title: Pleasantly surprised
Product review: I'm very pleased with this book. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect or how friendly it would be for a plant-based diet, but there are quite a number of vegetarian recipes (or vegetarian options) in the book and I'm pretty good at subbing for a variety of meats, so I'll actually be able to try the majority of the recipes in this book.The regions focused on are Mexico, China, France, and Italy. The recipes are simple enough for children without compromising quality of finished product (example: the author teaches you how to make your own beans rather than opening a can, so there is a focus on using whole/fresh ingredients). There is a lot of good information about food, cooking, and safety. There is a large, attractive picture of almost every recipe and line illustrations of how to do certain steps that may be unfamiliar.I think the book is at a level appropriate for about 9 and up. I have been cooking for years and I learned new things!
