Andrew’s Book Recommendation

BOOK RECOMMENDATION

FROM ANDREW

I recently read a really great book and want to recommend it to all of you, too. It’s Daniel Stone’s “The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe- Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats.” Here’s the book’s description from Amazon. “The true adventures of David Fairchild, a late-19th-century food explorer who traveled the globe and introduced diverse crops like avocados, mangoes, seedless grapes, and thousands more to the American plate. “In the 19th century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience

the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. “Kale from Croatia, mangoes from India, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China, avocados from Chile, and pomegranates from Malta. Fairchild’s finds weren’t just limited to food: From Egypt, he sent back a variety of cotton that revolutionized an industry, and via Japan, he introduced the cherry blossom tree, forever brightening America’s capital. Along the way, he was arrested, caught diseases, and bargained with island tribes. But his culinary ambition came during a formative era, and through him, America transformed into the most diverse food system ever created.” –Andrew Bachman
