      SAFETY NOTE

      Almost every technique and recipe in this book involves

      heat, sharp tools such as knives, powered appliances, or raw

      food (which may have germs). Adult supervision is required

      at all times and for all instructions and recipes.

      What’s your

      favorite meal?

      Zippy hot

      tacos on a

      Saturday

      night?

      The spaghetti

      and meatballs

      your mom

      makes for your

      birthday?

      Turkey,

      stuffing, and

      all the

      trimmings at

      Thanksgiving?

      These are more than meals. They are also

      memories. Cooking means sharing in tradi-

      tions that go back thousands of years.

      Family recipes hold family history. Maybe

      your great-grandmother brought that

      pasta recipe with her from Rome. Maybe

      your dad learned to make his tacos in

      Texas when he was a kid. Wherever they

      came from, those recipes contain stories

      about your own past.

      Cooking passes on world

      history, too. Every culture

      expresses itself with its

      own special foods. When

      you’re eating hummus,

      spring rolls, or curry, you’re

      experiencing other places in

      the tastiest way.

      Adults Required!

      A kitchen is a glorious place. It can

      also be a dangerous one, though. So

      before you do any of the activities

      in this book, ask permission from an

      adult. And while you’re in the kitch-

       en, an adult needs to be with you

       at all times. Never cook alone.

       (Cooking is more fun with

       other people anyway!)

      You can join that great tradition.

      It’s easy. Not only can you learn to

      make family favorites, but you can

      invent your own mouthwatering

      dishes, too.

      The more you cook, the more

      you’ll get to know how foods

      and flavors go together, and

      how to change things up the

      way you like. One day you

      won’t even need a recipe—

      except when you want to try

      something
