BACKGROUND:

Garfield, founder and author of the Handstand Kids Cookbook Company, creates international cookbook kits that introduce children to the culture, language and cuisine of a new country. Garfield has appeared on dozens of TV shows, bringing international healthy cooking for kids into the homes of Americans.

The Handstand Kids Cookbook Company aims to use international cooking to create a global community of children and cooking is a fantastic way to promote health and nutrition, explore different cultures, encourage family togetherness and give to others in need.

The Handstand Kids cookbooks are the perfect recipe for kids to learn how to cook while learning about the people, places and language of a new country. These international children’s cookbook kits feature the languages and cuisines of Italy, Mexico and China. Each Handstand Kids cookbook introduces children to delicious and healthy recipes, familiarizing them with the language of the corresponding country. The cookbooks translate each of the ingredients and utensils into the country’s primary language and are each uniquely packaged with a child-friendly cooking accessory: The Italian kit is packaged in a pizza box with a chef's hat; the Mexican kit comes in a tortilla bag with a child-sized oven mitt, and the Chinese kit is packaged in a take-out box with a set of chopsticks.

Garfield can be interviewed before her first class or during the break from noon to 1 p.m. on July 14; please schedule with media contacts below.
