No More Beige Food

One night Wilma Lee Wu sits down for dinner—in front of some food that might've been meat—when she declares she can't take it: "Please, no more beige food!" She's tired of the bland and mushy meals her parents make. So Wilma and her little brother venture in search of some neighbors willing to teach them how to cook new food. From Khun Joe's pad thai to Ms. Azar's Lebanese kibbe, they learn to make all sorts of tasty dishes. But how will Wilma respond when Monsieur Poutine offers to teach her how to make frog legs?
