Round The World In 80
Dishes
£9.66
This charming little book was first published in 1956 when people in England were still enduring post-war restrictions on both travelling & eating. As Lesley Blanch says in her introduction to a later edition benign fate whisked me elsewhere to follow less restricted ways travelling widely & eating wildly. She said: I dont belong in England I dont belong anywhere it is rather restful
- I have met everybody & known nobody. Seductive & piquant like its author this is an appetizer for enthusiastic beginners rather than a basic cookbook. Lesley Blanchs gastronomic world tour

Includes:: eighty recipes each prefaced by an account of where they were first tasted or with some amusing anecdote.

Route 66
£5.24
Begun in 1926 to connect Chicago to Los Angeles Route 66 was the countrys first major east-west thoroughfare. By 1930 it was an important route for both truckers & travellers alike & in 1939 it became known as The Mother Road thanks to John Steinbecks classic The Grapes of Wrath". Over the years hundreds of thousands of Americans travelled this great road
- from those heading west during the Great Depression to postwar families taking road trips across the country
- but by the 1970s four-lane highways expressways & tollways had largely supplanted it & Route 66 fell into disrepair. In this book authority David Knudson traces the fascinating story of The Mother Road from origins to decline including the roadside attractions & cottage industries it spawned & the efforts to save & restore it."
