Hungry Planet, by Menzel and D'Aluisio.

[David Bedell]

A book profiling what 30 families in 24 different countries eat each week.

Fantastic photography and fun writing.  You learn about the lives of each of the families and how they obtain and prepare their food.  Recipes, too.

Looks like a winner. May have to buy it just to convince my kids that, yes, they DO eat like kings here.
