Art of Conversation - Food

Description

Designed to revive The Art of Conversation(R), TAOC(R) is a fabulous way to have balanced, interesting and meaningful communications. This Food Edition follows on from the success of the original TAOC(R) games, and is an innovative and multi-purpose resource for exploring what really matters about the food we eat. Included is an instruction booklet, as well as over 300 culinary entrees to food communication. With childhood obesity an epidemic in the developed world, and eating disorders damaging lives, food education is more important than ever. TAOC(R) Food may be used in a variety of ways to put conflicted attitudes into perspective, and learn about food - what it is, where it comes from, how it's prepared and whether its effects are beneficial or otherwise. TAOC(R) Food is a great way to actively share aspects of food and eating, from ingredients to origins; inspire unadventurous eaters; discuss preparation, tastes, popular dishes, healthy snacks, leftovers and comfort foods, as well as laugh and learn from food quotations. Developed with renowned Sydney Food Editor Trudi Hollinsworth, TAOC(R) Food works well in a variety of settings, facilitating healthy debates and discussions, as well as being a useful tool for research topics and recipe exploration.

Kylie Please everyone's taste buds - buy this game! My boyfriend and I moved in together at the start of the year and we've found we're not going out nearly as much as we use to. These days we much prefer to stay in and host dinners with our friends. Wanting to expand my repertoire, I went browsing for cookbooks online and discovered The Art Of Food Conversation and thought it sounded interesting. Not only has it opened us up to new delicious foods, but also allowed us to easily share our likes and dislikes with one another, meaning everyone enjoys themselves - even the fussiest of eaters. Lindy Martin Great gift that keeps on giving!! A friend of mine is a whiz in the kitchen and I thought she'd just love this game - and she did!! For years she'd been telling me she would teach me how to cook, and playing this game together has sparked my interest and provided an easy transition into a world beyond packet foods and take out.
