Peach Street to Lobster Lane: Coast to coast in search of the real American cuisine (Hardback)

When food writer and “taster‑in‑chief” Felicity Cloake announces her plan to cycle across America, the reactions range from alarm to disbelief. But determined to explore the country through its flavours—not just its stereotypes—she sets off on a bold coast‑to‑coast cycling adventure during one of the most turbulent election years in recent memory.

As Felicity pedals through small towns, big cities, backroads and highways, she discovers an America far richer and more surprising than the headlines suggest. Along the way she’s welcomed with warmth, curiosity and unforgettable regional dishes: crawfish stew, sauerkraut balls, Memphis barbecue, Mission burritos, Italian beef, Tex‑Mex twists and countless local specialities that reveal the stories and pride behind each community.

Told mile by mile and meal by meal, this is a vibrant, witty and heartfelt travelogue that blends cycling, culture and cuisine. Felicity’s journey uncovers a nation full of generosity and character—proof that the real heart of America is found around the table.

Perfect for fans of food writing, travel memoirs and long‑distance cycling adventures, this book celebrates the joy of exploring a country through its people and its plates.
