Take a journey with the dynamic father and daughter duo, geographer Gary Fuller and chef Tracy Reddekopp, as they travel around the globe into different cultures and traditions, enriching the trip with recipes to extend the experience into our kitchen and homes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of recipes simmers alongside lessons in geography and history. From discussions on global impacts of specific ingredients, such as the introduction of the potato into Bolivia, to the social influences of ingredients like that of dairy, Fuller and Reddekopp put an interesting personal slant to each chapter. Recipes are bolstered with the history of the highlighted element of each featured recipe, along with learning questions at the beginning of each chapter as well as being put into a personal context. The authors both include intimate stories to bolster the well-researched histories and tried recipes with a unique slant. . . . This is an enjoyable read that features a number of intriguing recipes that have been crafted for the home cook. * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003eThis delightful (though U.S.-centric) book about the close bonds between the world’s regions and their distinctive cuisines holds no surprises, but geographer Fuller and chef Reddekopp capture the reader’s attention with a series of intriguing facts, trivia, and recipes. The authors, a father-daughter team, explore 'the sense of place, the role of familial traditions, and regional values.' They point out the significance to international appetites of essential foods such as spices, rice, sugar, vanilla, and cacao, as well as charting the arrival in the U.S. of key ingredients brought by immigrants from Europe, Africa, Russia, the Pacific, and South America. The recipes are uncomplicated, and the writing shows a wealth of knowledge about the history of foods and their cultural and political introduction to the U.S. * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eThis engaging volume will entice readers to discover two vital kinds of knowledge that have sadly become scarce. The first is knowledge of the sources, healthfulness, and meaning of our food. The second is knowledge of the planet itself, lost on a post-geographic generation. Delicious Geography is indeed a delicious exploration of the world through food. -- James Hayes-Bohanan, Bridgewater State University\u003cbr\u003eThis innovative book beautifully combines geography, history, and cooking in a single volume. It invites you to learn about the spice trade and then make mulled wine, investigate the origins of the potato and then make pommes frites, and so much more! An insightful and scrumptious geography of food. -- Dan Knudsen, Indiana University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Dr. G’s Preface  Chef Tracy’s Preface  1 The Search for Spices  \tOld World Meets New World Spiced Wine  \tMalabar Pepper Gougères  2 Marco Polo Travels East  \tSpinach and Vanilla Rice Casserole  3 A Plant Is Domesticated in Bolivia  \tPommes Frites with Garlic and Vanilla Aioli  \tColcannon  4 Sugar  \tVanilla Caramel \tRustic Apple Tart  5 Cacao \tGrammy’s Cocoa Cake—The Next Generation with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting and Bittersweet \t\t\tChocolate Drizzle 6 Plain Vanilla \tVanilla Extract  \tFrozen Vanilla Custard  \tVanilla Bean Flan 7 The French in America  \tBeignets and Spiced-Chicory-Chocolate Dipping Sauce 8 The Russians Come to America  \tRussian Borscht  9 Jews in America  \tChallah  10 Immigrants, Part I  \tMom’s Sauerkraut and Apples  11 Immigrants, Part II \tCannoli Bites with Dark Chocolate  \tThe Godfather Cocktail 12 North Atlantic Islands  \tBeer-Battered Onion Rings 13 South Atlantic Islands \tRogue Pirate Picnic Sandwich 14 World Hot Spots  \tSweet Pepper and Onion Jam  \tChristmas Eve Wings with Cilantro-Lime Dipping Sauce  15 Religious Movements  \tDad’s Thanksgiving Stuffing  \tAmish Chicken 16 South of the Border  \tCrab Enchilada Bake with Red and White Sauces 17 The Land Down Under US  \tArroz con Pollo  18 Extinctions \tTatonka Tourtiere  \tBacalao  19 Gold Rushes  \tRachel’s Cinnamon Twists  20 Rivers and Civilizations  \tNorth African Pan-Fried Bread 21 Things Change  \tMeatloaf, Mashies, and Pea Salad 22 Southern Latitudes  \tNot-so-Trite Shrimp on the Barbie  23 Settlement of the Pacific: The Final Frontier  \tPineapple-Papaya Salsa  24 The Dairy Belt  \tVanilla Ricotta Cheese  25 What’s in a Name? \tThree Sisters’ Pudding  26 My Early Geographic Education and First Migration \tStovetop “Baked” Beans  Index","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49529992839511,"sku":"9781442245327","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442245327.jpg?v=1731877661","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/revenge-of-the-trivia-lovers-gpb-from-place-to-plate-9781442245327","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
