Reviews

Grade 3-5 This title focuses on the food, culture, and traditions of various groups who came to America between 1565 and 1921, among them Spanish, French, Swedish, Portuguese, Italian, and Polish immigrants. Eight recipes are given from various cuisines, including Swedish meatballs and Portuguese sweet bread. The spot and full-page color illustrations are pleasing to the eye, as is the design of the book with its wide margin space. Readers also are introduced to the words for good appetite in various languages and to Jewish dietary laws. The appendix gives additional directions for classroom use of the dishes with 32 students and a teacher. Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
