Take A Bite - Eat Your Way Around the World is a wonderful, colourful book by Aleksandra & Daniel Mizielinski. Primarily marketed as a children's book, it will appeal to young and old alike.
This is a surprisingly big book, and is chock-a-block full of brilliant illustrations detailing the history of food from twenty-six countries all around the world. There are lovely recipes from each country too, both sweet and savoury, using a host of different ingredients, some of which will be familiar, but many others not so common. My daughter and I have already earmarked a few to try out with her three-year-old son : the recipes are straightforward enough for him to help, and it will be a lovely way of encouraging children to try their hand at cooking and trying out different ingredients.
In addition to the recipes, there are a lot of interesting facts concerning the history and geography of the countries. This is a lovely book.
