The Culinary Adventures of a Brooklyn Bodega Cat

Travel the world in search of unique traditions and treats, both human and feline. Join Axel and Rosie, together with their cats Otto and Gidget, on their adventures to six different countries as they savor characteristic foods and absorb fascinating cultures. Our protagonists float down the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy; dunk chunks of baguette in bubbling cheese in Verbier, Switzerland; join a Solstice ceremony in Machu Picchu, Peru; gobble up endless variations of salmon at a buffet in Heberg, Sweden; relish raclette in Vail, Colorado and participate in an 11-course fish extravaganza at a traditional inn in Nikko, Japan. Along the way they take in the sights and soak up new experiences which will change their perspectives forever. "The Culinary Adventures of a Brooklyn Bodega Cat" is a unique approach to instilling curiosity in traveling the world and is presented in an understandable and lighthearted way. Teachers and librarians will also find the book a perfect addition to their lessons and a great way to support students interested in other countries and cultures. And the recipes at the end of each chapter "cater" to all those culinary creatives who want to take these travels to the next level: right into their own kitchens!
