Juniper Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This season I really want the kids to help some of the foods we will be eating. Does anyone know of a good family friendly international food cookbook? I really don't want to go to the library for different ones. I just want something that will be a good resource for here in the home. Any ideas?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I would use a website like epicurious.com. They have where you can put in different types of cuisines. I find the problem with good authentic international food is that it requires a lot of specialty ingredients. Expensive and difficult to find.

Meriwether Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Please tell me you're not look for a recipe for the dish they ate tonight.:ack2::ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nooooo! Although it would be fun to make something that looked like that and force the kids to eat it. ;) We have a huge asian market, but I don't think I would be able to find frog Fallopian tubes. We usually watch an episode and wait for them to say where they are going. Then I plan a meal around that countries food for the next weeks episode. We are still tonight's episode.

Juniper Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 So, it looks like next week will be having Chinese food. My kids have never had take out and I am thinking it would be fun and little different than our normal meal approach. What should I order? Going for good and authentic. What are must haves?

ThisIsTheDay Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Please tell me you're not look for a recipe for the dish they ate tonight.:ack2::ack2: :lol::lol: My thoughts EXACTLY!! The Chinese people who were watching did not seem to find the food very appealing either though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenncslp Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I almost got sick watching them it eat!! Ewwww! Thanks for the idea about cooking to the show. That might be a fun way to introduce some countries to the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had to quit looking at the t.v. I can usually sit through the ick foods, but this time, I was getting dry heaves that were about to not be dry! That was really disgusting!

Chris in VA Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have the companion to this book, the one about the US, and I really like it, so I can say it'd probably be pretty good. You can click "Look inside" and see some of the recipes for each country. There's a book list, too, if you wanted to do a book basket the week of each show, or some sort of display or something--I'm imagining an "Amazing Race" center or nook in your homeschooling area! Wouldn't that be fun? You could put a map up, have some books there, and maybe even some objects that you have around the house that come from each country or somehow represent each country (or some of them).
