What to expect

Bloomsbury presents American Terroir by Rowan Jacobsen, read by Maxwell Caulfield

The first guide to the "flavor landscapes" of North America, American Terroir explains how local conditions such as soil and climate affect the flavor of foods such as apples, honey, maple syrup, coffee, oysters, salmon, wild mushrooms, wine, cheese, and chocolate. Complete with recipes and a resource section for finding the best place-specific foods, it's the perfect companion for any self-respecting locavore.

Critics Review

Jacobsen eases readers into discussions of chemistry, history, geography, and gastronomy with cavalier charm and worldly wit... Inspirational and highly engaging.
Library Journal
In his travels to these far-flung farms, Jacobsen shows that it is as much farmers' dedication to their profession that counts as the soil itself.
Booklist
In a dozen informative and often funny essays spanning breakfast to dinner, Jacobsen deploys an open mind as he travels...beyond issues of slow food and sustainability, Jacobsen's affable, nerdy DIY spirit challenges readers to rethink their relationship to food.
Publishers Weekly
Fascinating.
Seattle Weekly
Anyone interested in the ideals of Slow Food will find this book captivating and will envy the hands-on research Jacobsen did to prepare his newest book.
