Coming Soon: April 2014
Why an International Cookbook?
Your
purchase of this cookbook will allow you to take a virtual trip, if
only for a few hours, to an international destination of your choice.
While there we'll show you how to create the daily foods from the home
countries represented by the students, families, and staff of the
Fletcher Maynard Academy. The school is public and is located in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, a city that is home to a large number of
immigrants, including international students studying at MIT and
Harvard. As a result we are an international school by default to
students from 42 countries.
There are more than 52 recipes in
this book organized by geographic region rather than by course type. We
did it this way to emphasize the rich cultural variation that is the
FMA. This cookbook contains enough recipes for you to make at least one
new dish per week - a manageable number of recipes for both the novice
chef and the intrepid adventurer.
As you make, eat, and enjoy the dishes contained in these recipes, we invite you to visit the online tour
in Google Tour Builder. I highly recommend using the "street view"
function to see up close what the home countries actually look like. If
you are like me, some of your preconceived notions of what a "foreign"
country is supposed to look like will be challenged. For more
information about the tour and other online resources please visit the PTO website.
Most
importantly, profits from the sale of this book will go to support
FMA's annual international trip. This year a group of students, staff,
and parents will go to Senegal in April 2014. Contrary to what you might
think, the FMA is not rich. The students, families, and faculty have to
raise enough money through grassroots fund-raising, outside donors, and
now, a cookbook, in order to make these trips possible.
Eat
food, explore global cultures, and support the next generation of global
citizens. What more can we ask? Bon apeti! Buen provecho! Itadakimasu!
Smačnoho! Dig in!
