On this episode, we discuss with Mireille Roc of Global Kitchen Travels about how recipes can be used as a way to teach children about other cultures, while also teaching them a life skill and reinforce important studies like history, geography and math. There is nothing like sharing a plate of delicious food to break down bias and misconceptions about other cultures.

On this episode we cover: 

• using recipes as a vehicle for learning about other countries
• How to learn how to easily cook from different cuisines?
• What are some fun projects to help inspire cultural learning in kids?

Chef Mireille is a NYC based classically trained chef who has more than 10 years experience working in a variety of culinary roles including everything from a Catering Chef to a Nursery School Chef. For the past several years, she has worked as a Chef Instructor, teaching children cross cultural recipes and nutrition in an after school culinary program.

She is also the food writer and photographer at Global Kitchen Travels, a food and travel blog presenting traditional recipes from around the world.
