Product Description
Chef Emeril brings you a taste of the world! He helped younger kids take their first steps into the kitchen with Emeril's There's a Chef in My Soup! Recipes for the Kid in Everyone and then kicked it up a notch for older kids and adults, too, in Emeril's There's a Chef in My Family! Recipes to Get Everybody Cooking. Now Chef Emeril is back with a cookbook that really takes you places! You can start your travels in your own kitchen by exploring the meals, ingredients, and cooking styles enjoyed in different countries and regions. Hey, Chef Emeril knows that we're all part of one global family, and a great way to learn about other cultures is through their food! Once you're cooking international-style, you'll be ready to hop on a plane to China, Portugal, England, Greece, or Africa, just for a start! This cookbook is for kids of all ages and adults to use together, with 75 recipes for daily meals, special occasions, and everything in between, along with cooking tips and safety precautions. You can make a meal with dishes from one region or mix it up for a truly international feast! Plus, Chef Emeril includes "Did You Know . . ." tidbits of cultural information behind some of the recipes. - Try breakfast English-style with Toad in the Hole -- and discover what the "toad" is!
- After tasting Mexican Broiled Corn, you might never go back to plain old corn on the cob again!
- Instead of going to a Chinese restaurant, cook your own Kung Pao Chicken and find out how this popular dish may have received its name!
- BLT Hot Dogs are a perfect twist of two American classics! But just how American are hot dogs, anyway?
- And don't forget to leave room for dessert! One bite of No-Bake Caribbean Rice Pudding and you'll want to know more about the flavors of the islands!
So, get ready, pack your bags -- here's your passport to a whole new world of food!

 Emeril does it again ( kpsell )
Anyone who has one of Emeril's "adult" cookbook or who is a fan of his cooking show, knows what a master he is at making things look easy. Emeril does a great job of doing just that with this cookbook. Parents and kids alike will love this book. Emeril explains the cooking techniques step by step to making easy and tasty world cuisine. My daughter has made just about all the recipes with very little assistance and they were great. Try this book, I guarantee you and your child will like it.

 Good for adults too!
Admittedly I have not tried the recipes yet, but just the introduction made me glad I purchased this book. It explained EVERYTHING about cooking that you could possibly ask, and it's written for children so even I can understand it. It's not for small children though. I'm guessing the age group would be right around puberty, the tweener stage. When my son gets older, I feel certain he will enjoy this book.

Real food for real kids! ( nonick4meeither )
Too bad whoever wrote the School Library Journal knows so very little about cooking, nutrition & the "childhood obesity crisis." They have done Emeril's There's a Chef in My World!: Recipes That Take You Places a huge disservice. I've been cooking, collecting cookbooks and teaching kids to cook about as long as Emeril has been alive. This particular book is one of the best childrens' cookbooks I've seen - ever.
Emeril has produced a marvelous book. Many of the recipes he gives are for dishes that have been commonplace favorites in our kitchen for decades. This is real food that real children like to eat. None of it is hard to make, no recipe requires impossible to find ingredients and, most importantly, you won't find a single recipe that utilizes a "mix" of any kind. All real food. (The closest Emeril comes to a "mix" is the recommendation for the use of refrigerated biscuit dough as a time-saver when making empanadas and the use of cream-filled chocolate cookies as part of a pie crust.)
Emeril presents a very well balanced selection of recipes that are heavy on the use of fruits & vegetables and easy on the sugar. The recipes are nicely laid out with detailed instructions that are easy to follow. The larger format makes the book easy to read & use. He is careful to explain terms like "saute" within the text itself and often gives anecdotes or serving tips about the various recipes. The text is engaging and sounds just like Emeril himself. Those who like to watch Emeril on TV (more than a few kids do!) will find this book a very comfortable read.
Some reviewers have commented on the various graphics included in the book. Some don't like Emeril's picture, others don't like the line drawings. These might not be appropriate in a book intended for adults - but this one is for kids. Children like Emeril, they like bright colors, pictures & yes - even line drawings.
That said, this is not a book for a 7 year old cook. This is for the 9 and over crowd, those that have acquired at least a few cooking skills. For that matter, this is a book that is perfectly suitable even for an adult just beginning to explore the food world. This is not a book of "recipes" that no self-respecting adult would touch, nor is it a book that dumbs down material so it is "kid friendly." Real recipes that use real food that real kids (and grownups too) like to eat & cook!

 Not as good as the first kids book....
My kids love to pick out recipes and I like to try new things. This Emeril book is good, just not as great as the first- if you like Emeril, I am sure you will like it.

great for mom and teenager fun
We both enjoy reading about the recipes from around the world. This is the first cookbook my teenager has really gotten excited about. We've only tried two recipes so far, both good, and we both cook together. Fun and yummy together time in the kitchen.
