Ask the children if they use different utensils for cooking and eating, could they bring them in to show us? When i did this we ended up with a "dutch pot" ( a heavy round bottomed cooking pan) used by a west indian parent. A large wok , and a very very big paella pan. Also chopsticks and some little muslin bags that the west indian parent put bay and thyme leaves in when cooking. We then asked the parents if we could have any "spare" ones they had and put them in our home corner. You could also have traditional national clothes permanently for dressing up. Our kids loved dressing up in these and the children that bought them in loved showing the others how to wear them.
