Turn Your Kitchen Into a Classroom

What if you could mix the ingredients of cooking and learning, and stir in some culture, all in one kid-friendly recipe? Now you can, thanks to The Handstand Kids Cookbook Company, which publishes a just-for-kids series of cookbooks. "Traveling the world, one recipe at a time" is Handstand's motto; through cooking, the company introduces kids to the culture, language, and cuisine of different countries.

The result: Kids not only learn how to make terrific international dishes, they also discover the importance of healthy eating while preparing and sharing meals with their families.
