Once Dahlia saw other kids eating these kid-friendly foreign foods, she delightfully dug in! Click through this slideshow for the recipes.

India: Roasted Chickpeas & Cauliflower
These are best warm from the oven but delectable at room temperature, too. Cook them on the day you plan to eat them.

Poland: Mini Matzoh-Ball Soup
If you're pressed for time, use low-sodium chicken broth instead of making the soup from scratch.

Philippines: Rice-Noodle Salad (Pancit)
No shrimp? You can always substitute tofu or boneless, skinless chicken cut into bite-size pieces. Make sure you cook poultry until it's no longer pink.

Ethiopia: Doro Wat
Another tasty way to serve this stew is over couscous or rice to soak up the spicy sauce.

France: Individual Apple Tart Tatin
Wonderful on their own, these treats are even better served with whipped cream.
