There are lots of recipes ... and the author-illustrators have delivered a bellyful of fascinating facts to inspire young gourmets and food scientists alike. * Absolutely Education * STELLA'S REVIEW: Quite a few years ago, the wonderful Polish authors Aleksandra and Daniel Mizielinski were touring Aotearoa with the publisher and owner of Gecko Books, Julia Marshall. They came to Nelson and shared their love of illustration with a group of children. It was a delightful event, in which they communicated through drawings and their limited English. You might already own one of their wonderful books, the excellent Maps, or the architecture gem, H.O.U.S.E, and its sister, D.E.S.I.G.N, Impossible Inventions, or the earlier Mamoko series. Take a Bite is a big, glorious book about food around the world. It — of course! — has terrific illustrations, and covers the history of food across many countries and cuisines. Travel the world through this book, and discover intriguing facts about food and culture, cuisine specialties, cooking methods, site-specific ingredients, regional delights, marketplaces, harvesting and gathering, feasts, and sharing food — but wait, — recipes as well! While there’s plenty of history and food facts to keep the best questioner satisfied, it’s also an enjoyable visual experience with vibrant colour, excellent layout, and pockets of wit designed to hook young readers. Take A Bite is an excellent example of exploring the world and our cultural diversity through the universal enjoyment of food. So why not try a Polish pancake, Brazilian pralines, Moroccan Seffa, or Italian bolognese, or maybe you're keen for a spot of fermentation?
