Cook It Before You Miss It
Designed for ages 7 to 12, plus a grown up
The food of the place, done properly and explained, with the kids doing the actual work. Not a recipe card taped into a folder: why this dish exists here, what it says about the people who eat it, then you go make it.
The Part of the Trip That Sticks the Longest
Kids come home from a trip and want to cook the food again, and that turns out to be the part that lasts the longest. Each recipe is written for a kid to actually do, with a grown up close by, not a recipe written for a grown up with a kid watching. Use it before the trip to build excitement, or on a rainy Sunday at home when the trip is still a maybe.

Traveling With Different Ages
The same destination may be available in several formats, which makes it easier to choose a different experience for each child.
Tell me who is coming and how long you have.
That is usually enough to know if this is a ship, a train, or a car with the windows down.
