Book Description
”A glorious freewheel through the culinary quirks and delights of the USA – an unmissable treat!” – Tim SpectorWhen the nation’s ‘taster in chief’ Felicity Cloake announced her dream to cycle across America, the reactions were… mixed: “You’ll get squashed,” warned a Californian colleague. “You’ll be murdered,” added her mum. Friends panicked: “But… what will you eat?”Determined to prove there’s more to American food than the cartoonish glamour of burgers and doughnuts (though she tries those too), Felicity embarks on the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure, tackling highways, byways and pieways by bike in an unforgettable election year. While the news cycle spins with outrage, what she discovers on the ground is far richer: a wildly varied place of warm hospitality, local pride and unforgettable flavours ― from crawfish stew to sauerkraut balls, Memphis barbecue to Mission burritos, Italian beef to Tex-Mex gyoza, she dives into iconic dishes and the stories behind them.Drawn to the scale, energy and contrasts of a country as complex as its cuisine, Felicity takes us along for the ride ― mile by mile, meal by meal ― finding a nation that’s welcoming, generous and full of heart where it counts: around the table.
