By making food an adventure, the book provides parents with an exciting way to read, learn, and cook with their children and share their family s long-held food traditions while creating new ones. Also included is a medieval world map showing Polo s actual expedition routes; glossaries of cooking terms, techniques, and utensils; an extensive illustrated history of the ingredients; modern adaptations; and historical trivia."
