The Coming To America Cookbook
Joan D'Amico
- Reading
- Pick one recipe together, read its accompanying cultural information, then agree on the cooking and clean-up tasks before starting.
- Themes
- Food, immigration and cultural traditions: Recipes and food facts are presented in connection with immigrant communities and cuisines in the United States. The book frames cooking as a way to encounter cultural traditions through particular dishes and their stories.
- Worth knowing
- Recipes involve practical kitchen activity; the book includes rules for kitchen safety and cleaning up. An adult can help decide which tasks suit the child and the setting.
