Kid's Kosher Cooking Cruise (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

This is a Kosher cookbook with a twist. Not only is it for eight- to twelve-year-olds, but it also tells a story. Hannah and Hershel go on a boat trip up the Mississippi River with their grandmother; the reader visits each port with them. In this way, history and geography are taught along with how to cook! The trip starts in New Orleans and continues to Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; and Hannibal, Missouri. After each stop, the chef on board the ship teaches a cooking class that features dishes with local themes.

Children will enjoy making the fun treats, including Paddlewheel Fish Balls, Capitol Chicken, Natchez Nosh, Soldier's Salad, Quapaw Pizza, Graceland Green Bean Casserole, and Mark Twain's Cave Cookies.
