The Super Natural Family International Cookbook is a thoughtful compendium of kid-friendly recipes from around the world. Nancy Mehagian, the author of two prior award winning books – the culinary memoir Siren’s Feast: An Edible Odyssey, and the Supernatural Kids Cookbook – has knocked it out of the park again with her newest effort. Families and kids are going to love these recipes.

Parents will like the emphasis on natural, fresh ingredients, while junior cooks will enjoy learning new dishes and taking an armchair ride around the globe. As the author notes in her introduction, “Cooking and eating food from countries we’ve never visited teaches us so much about other cultures – their climates, their customs and holidays, what they grow and how they cook. It’s a great way to understand how much we have in common and to honor how much we differ.”

This book appeals on so many levels: from the tips for healthful eating and the medicinal use of herbs and spices, to the appeal of travel, understanding other cultures, and bonding over food. The Super Natural Family International Cookbook has got it all.
