Do you like to cook in the kitchen with your kids? I do and my kids usually like to cook with me as well. Depending on what I make they may or may not eat our creations though! It doesn’t matter because it’s important that we are together as a family doing something we enjoy and to spend time together. National Geographic has given our family the opportunity to enjoy getting in the kitchen with the kids.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FOODS FOR HEALTH: Choose and Use the Very Best Foods for Your Family and Our Planet, written by celebrity chef and National Geographic Fellow Barton Seaver and nutrition scientist Dr. P. K. Newby, spotlights 148 ingredients – fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, oils, fats, and beverages – that provide huge health and nutritional benefits with the least impact on the environment. The authors show you how to incorporate these foods into your family’s daily meals while providing fascinating food facts, colorful cultural history and folklore about each ingredient, and the benefits and impact that they have on the planet as we look to live in a sustainable world.
