Foodimentary : celebrating 365 food holidays with classic recipes
(Book)

Includes index.

"John-Bryan Hopkins wasn't satisfied with the recognized 145 national food holidays (most of which were created by food companies to sell their products, anyway). Thus, he resolved to create celebrations of his own favorite foods; one for each day of the year. This was the origin of Foodimentary.com, and now its success is contained in one delicious volume. Every taste is represented--from a simple root beer float to a sophisticated filet mignon. Plus, each day's celebration is accompanied with some long-forgotten trivia facts specific to the food. Did you know that the 30-to-44 age group eats the most ice cream sandwiches each year? Or that National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army to help those in need during the Great Depression? Make this a tasty year with Foodimentary, and celebrate food every day while learning a little bit of history in the process!"--,Provided by publisher.
