She is a mother of nine kids including twin girls who are just over a year old.

One of the things our family has enjoyed doing together is learning about, cooking (or trying to), and eating foods and dishes from different countries. This has been a wonderful way to learn about other cultures and expose our children to different tastes. Sometimes we will cook a dish from a country we have been studying, other times I will find an unusual fruit or vegetable at the store and we will have to figure out how to prepare it, and sometimes we splurge and go to a restaurant which specializes in a specific cuisine.
Here are some ideas about how to get started exploring foods from around the world:
These ideas are just a beginning to all that you can do to incorporate world cuisine into your family’s meals. If you model adventurousness in your eating habits, your children will pick-up on it, and by including them in choosing they will be more likely to join in on the fun.
If you enjoyed this guest post and would like to make a post about getting your kids involved in the kitchen, then let me know.

Great Post! And "starting young" is the most effective way, for sure. My tiplets are 4 now and the pickiness has reared it's ugly head. Foods they have not been introduced to do yet…are like goop to them and there is NO WAY they are EVER going to put THAT in their mouths!haha
Great post. I was just commenting today to a niece that I know have picky eaters, because I didn't branch out more when they were real little. But never late to start trying! Thanks for sharing!
