Ideas + Inspiration 7Grand A Culinary Adventure Before catching Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon, families can take a culinary adventure to Raya’s homeland Kumandra—a magical land inspired by Southeast Asia—with kids leading the recipe creation. Disney has collaborated with Raddish Kids to help families create their own “Dinner & a Movie” night with a free printable digital Raddish cooking kit created in celebration of the film that includes three recipes: Shrimp Noodles, Pork Lettuce Cups and Mango Sticky Rice, inspired by the cuisine of Southeast Asia. Kids can take charge in the kitchen—with help from their grandparents—with the easyto-follow recipe guides, and a step-by-step cook-along video with an appearance from a Disney chef. The free, flavour-filled kit created in celebration of Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon can be found at raddishkids. com/pages/disneyraya.
