A Taste of China

School Library Journal

Gr 3-7-Denny combines information on history, folklore, and agriculture in these concise, food-centered looks at Britain and China. Each book has five simple recipes. They all result in tasty foods and are good introductions to the general flavors of the regional cuisines. Directions in words and illustrations are well done and include advice to let an adult help. Full-color photographs are clear, crisp, and complement the texts. Starting points for students preparing either a report or a special treat.-Carole B.
