This book is big, probably A3 size and packed full of fascinating illustrations and information about the food of 28 countries around the world. Each country has four pages dedicated to it in the book and two recipes. The four page spread for each country covers information about the country including the history of the country, religion and popular food in that country (eg Israel features a recipe for hummus, Japan has a recipe for onigiri and France has one for mille feuille).

It is the type of book I could imagine my 8 year old son flicking through, selecting a country to read about and then asking if we could cook a recipe from that country.

The book is laid out in a way that allows you to dip in and out of it. The illustrations are eye catching and would be interesting to a child as there were lots of different things to look at and learn about.
