In our Global Read Aloud book The Fourteenth Goldfish Melvin, Allie’s grandpa, misses his beloved wife and has nostalgic feelings for the past. He says new stuff is not as good as he remembers the old stuff. He says that cooking is science, so he cooks Coq au Vin, a chicken dish from France, from his wife’s recipe. This comforts him and brings back fond memories. Does your family have special foods that do the same thing? What are they? When are they eaten? What are your special memories about food?
