Description
Here's a really tasty supplement to any study of the United States! While state studies often include state birds, flowers, capitals and other facts, most don't devote much time to "state foods." This book includes easy-to-follow instructions for preparing a complete meal - main course, side dish, and dessert - typical to one eaten by people of each of the 50 states. When too tempting to pass up, some states also include additional recipes for breakfast foods or snacks. Fun state food facts pepper the pages to keep you busy while the meal is cooking. As they say, "When in Iowa, eat as the Iowans do." - Steph
Publisher's Description of Eat Your Way Through the USA (Cookbook)
What is the best part of any vacation? The food, of course! The highlight of a trip to Maryland is soft shell crab cakes. A visit to Idaho is not complete without a variety of potato dishes and vacationers plan whole trips around the Cajun delicacies of Louisiana. A trip to the south means a mess of fried catfish and black eyed peas. Every state in this great country has its own culinary specialties. Now you can taste your way across the country without leaving your own dining room table!
Every state in this great country has its own culinary specialties. Now you can taste your way across the country without leaving your own dining room table!
Eat Your Way Through the U.S.A. is more than just a cookbook. It is a taste buds-on approach to geography. Each state has its unique geographical features and agricultural products. These influence both the ingredients that go into a recipe and the way food is prepared.
This unique addition to your U.S. Geography program will allow you to experience a different meal from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Learn about the dairy and beef industries in Wisconsin, then use this resource to help you cook a dinner of garlic cheese rolls and ribs and sauerkraut. Study about the rise of farming in California during the Great Depression, then enjoy a dinner of fresh fruits and vegetables. What better way to bring the importance of geography home!
Eat Your Way Through the U.S.A. includes a full meal of recipes from each state. In some cases, there is a salad, main dish and dessert. In other cases, main dish, vegetable and bread. Some states include bonus recipes for breakfast foods and snacks. Recipes are easy to follow and, though they aren't written at a child's level, you should feel free to include your children in the preparation of these dishes. This provides life skills and is a source of bonding and pride for your children.
All pages are printed in two colors for added interest and there is a set of interesting food facts from each state to supplement your cooking experience.

Cute, simple recipes
I purchased this book to be an additional fun activity to do with our year long state study. The recipes seem fairly simple and fun. I will say that, for our state at least, the recipes seemed kind of random and not what we are really known for, but I think the book will still be a fun addition to our state studies. Recipes are always a fun way to get in some math and life skills, while also getting a tasty treat at the end.

Lots of fun I had never made gumbo before that was interesting The only down side to this is it can be difficult to locate some of the ingredients for those recipes not from your area So a few times I had to improvise on a recipe Over all my kids really enjoyed doing these recipes with me
