Recipe Road Trip {Review}

Did Baked Alaska really come from Alaska?  Where did the twinkie originate?  What do Lobster Rolls really taste like?

Do you have a child that asks these kinds of questions? Or maybe a child who loves to be in the kitchen?   Recipe Road Trip combines kid-friendly recipes with regional trivia to get your kids excited about cooking and learning in the kitchen.  This amazing cookbook is broken up into regions, including two to three recipes for each state within that region.  Surprisingly, Recipe Road Trip also includes recipes from U.S. Commonwealths and Territories.  All recipes are leveled from 1-3 to indicate it's difficulty and are written in an easily understandable manner.  The illustrations are fun without being too cartoony and the geographic trivia is great to learn as well.  One of my favorite additions was the sample menus in the back of the book that allows kids to create a regional meal.  As a homeschool mom, I'd love to have this one on the shelf for studying geography.  The best age for Recipe Road Trip would be upper elementary to young teen.  While the items are kid-friendly, they do include many main dishes that would appeal to an older child.  And as with any cookbook, I would avoid the kindle version and prefer a physical copy.
