Five children from different countries share what they enjoy eating and the role food plays in their daily lives."

Let’s Eat, Pete! It’s Lunchtime at School, is about time management and being open minded about individual eating preferences. We all know picky or finicky eaters and habitually tardy pupils. Children always look forward to a midday lunchtime hour long refreshing break. Getting to let loose with friends, while enjoying something tasty and munchable, followed by a rec break in the school yard was a big treat and highlight of the day. In school, I was almost always hungry the last 1/2 hour; sometimes the belly growling was downright distracting. The tummy echo sometimes prompted kids to glance over with a laughable look, guffawing at my gastro discomfort. I’m sure they could all relate as few kids ever had adequate time to get enough breakfast to tide them over til lunch, usually because of tight schedules. We were 5 and it was tough to gobble down enough breakfast before rolling out to not be late. It was a daily challenge not just for us but my beleaguered patient parents. I love all animals big and small, and my characters are almost always loveable creatures, with personality, and attitude, and with lessons to teach and learn, just like big and little kids everywhere.

The food that Jewish people eat is part of our connection to our faith, culture, and history. Not only is Jewish food comforting and delicious, it’s also a link to every facet of Judaism. By learning about and cooking traditional Jewish dishes, we can understand fundamentals such as kashrut, community, and diversity. And Jewish history is so connected to food that one comedian said that the story of Judaism can be condensed into nine words: They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat. Let’s Eat follows the calendar of Jewish holidays to include food from the many different Jewish communities around the world; in doing so, it brings the values that are the foundation of Judaism into focus. It also covers the way these foods have ended up on the Jewish menu and how Jews, as they wandered through the world, have influenced and been influenced by other nations and cuisines. Including over 40 recipes, this delicious review of the role of food in Jewish life offers a lively history alongside the traditions of

There’s never been a book about food like Let’s Eat France! A book that feels literally larger than life, it is a feast for food lovers and Francophiles, combining the completist virtues of an encyclopedia and the obsessive visual pleasures of infographics with an enthusiast’s unbridled joy. Here are classic recipes, including how to make a pot-au-feu, eight essential composed salads, pâté en croûte, blanquette de veau, choucroute, and the best ratatouille. Profiles of French food icons like Colette and Curnonsky, Brillat-Savarin and Bocuse, the Troigros dynasty and Victor Hugo. A region-by-region index of each area’s famed cheeses, charcuterie, and recipes. Poster-size guides to the breads of France, the wines of France, the oysters of France—even the frites of France. You’ll meet endive, the belle of the north; discover the croissant timeline; understand the art of tartare; find a chart of wine bottle sizes, from the tiny split to the Nebuchadnezzar (the equivalent of 20 standard bottles); and follow the family tree of French sauces. Adding to the overall delight of the book is the random arrangement of its content (a tutorial on mayonnaise is next to a list of places where Balzac ate), making each page a found treasure. It’s a book you’ll open anywhere—and never want to close.

Abstract: The needs and advantages of summer food programs are examined in current recommendations issued by the Food Research and Action Center in an update of its guidebook on summer food programs. Guidelines include program information and costs, and step-by-step procedures for implementing programs at a local level. Students receiving federally-funded nutritious meals during the school year need support in the summer. Although summer food programs are available to provide meals to hungry children, they are not well utilized by needy communities. Communities are encouraged to start summer meal programs by taking advantage of federal dollars. Updated information accounts for recent legislative and regulatory changes in meal reimbursement and eligibility figures. A new list of eligibility sponsors is given. Appendices to the original guide include meal requirements, eligibility calculations, an outline for program monitoring, a sample menu, brochure, publicity poster and an evaluation questionnaire, and suggested resources.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Calvin Trillin's Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin. “Trillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language.” –New York magazine In this delightful and delicious book, Calvin Trillin, guided by an insatiable appetite, embarks on a hilarious odyssey in search of “something decent to eat.” Across time zones and cultures, and often with his wife, Alice, at his side, Trillin shares his triumphs in the art of culinary discovery, including Dungeness crabs in California, barbecued mutton in Kentucky, potato latkes in London, blaff d’oursins in Martinique, and a $33 picnic on a no-frills flight to Miami. His eating companions include Fats Goldberg, the New York pizza baron and reformed blimp; William Edgett Smith, the man with the Naughahyde palate; and his six-year-old daughter, Sarah, who refuses to enter a Chinese restaurant unless she is carrying a bagel (“just in case”). And though Alice “has a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day,” on the road she proves to be a serious eater–despite “seemingly uncontrollable attacks of moderation.” Alice, Let Eat amply demonstrates why The New Republic called Calvin Trillin “a classic American humorist.” “One of the most brilliant humorists of our times . . . Trillin is guaranteed good reading.” –Charleston Post and Courier “Read Trillin and laugh out loud.” –Time
