Introduction excerpt:
"The idea for an international cookbook occurred to me at one of our adoptive parent support group picnics. The table, laden with exotic dishes presented with American fare, was a mouth-watering sight. I had the urge to label each dish with its name, place of origin, recipe and of course, the name of the cook.
Los Ninos International families are multicultural, thus our interest in a wide variety of ethnic dishes. When I requested recipes from Los Nios News readers, I discovered a lot of talent; some of our adoptive parents and children have won contests, others are famous for certain dishes. Families sent us inventive presentations from many cultures and geographic locations. Most of the recipes have been taste tested by my family and rated good to great."

About the Author:
Over 1,800 children have been placed by Los Ninos(Children's) International Adoption Center (LNI). Jean and her husband, Heino were already the parents of three biological sons when they adopted twin daughters in Colombia in 1973. Then as volunteers for eight years for Adoptive Families of America and adoption agencies in Minnesota, they paved the way for thousands of U.S. couples and singles to adopt Colombian children. Through their guidance, research and writing, the Erichsens went on to help find adoptive parents for orphaned and abandoned children worldwide. In 1983, the whole family traveled to Colombia where they met a nine-year-old boy whom they adopted.
The Erichsens have traveled extensively in Latin America, Asia and Europe, in order to develop and maintain new adoption programs. The agency has earned a national and international reputation for their high ethical standards.
The Erichsens current book is How to Adopt Internationally, Mesa House Publishing, 1997. Jean produced a 10 minute training film, How to Adopt and wrote the lyrics for the song, Butterflies. Jean is also the author of Los Nios International Family Cookbook, as well as children's media.
