Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-03 00:00:00 Noemi Paciorek I stumbled across this fantastic book on my own Kindle when looking for books for my kids who were studying Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. I must have gotten it for free at some point. It is also available as a paperback. This book could not have been more perfect for our studies! It is a travelogue of the author’s visits to all the countries that the Rhine flows through – Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. In it, the author gives all sorts of information about geography, history, and culture along with recipes and other fun tidbits. I could hardly put it down, and my 6th grader enjoyed it too. She read the chapter that corresponded to the countries we studied each week and read the chapters about the countries we weren't studying just for fun. The book follows the path of the Rhine from South to North – Switzerland to the Netherlands, but it was easy to jump around from chapter to chapter following our studies as each chapter doesn’t really build on the others.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-16 00:00:00 Ross Lam I'm a big fan of cookbooks combined with travelogues, books where you learn a bit about the country in addition to recipes. In addition, my family is German and I was very happy because several of these recipes helped me recreate dishes my mother used to make. The recipes themselves were straight-forward and seemed authentic.
