Explore the globe with Waffles + Mochi and learn about the stories behind the food we eat in this accessible, child-friendly cookbook, based on the Netflix children's show from Higher Ground, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's production company in partnership with Netflix. Join Waffles and Mochi for recipes and cooking adventures that take you around the world--from Delicioso Stew inspired by Peru to a Pani Puri Party in California to making Hands-on Onigiri in Japan. These best friends discover how chefs mix fresh ingredients to create delicious dishes that make our taste buds happy. Each chapter begins with a simple recipe to master--like creating magical salts to dust over your dishes, boiling eggs four ways, and baking a potato that's anything but ordinary. Then the recipes build from there. Before you know it, you'll be whipping up Tenacious Tomato Salad, Chicken Sancocho, Kimchi Grilled Cheese, and Cloud Meringues.
