Cookbooks enjoy heavy use at our school. Students may simply pore over the pictures and recipes (imagining making something) or use them to plan and prepare a meal, most often with an adult at home.
Classroom teachers might use cooking texts to spark conversations about how food reflects and influences culture and identity. An essential question might be: "Why are certain food traditions important to a culture?"
