  The Secret History of Food -...

  An irreverent, surprising, and entirely entertaining look at the little-known history surrounding the foods we know and love 
   
  Is Italian olive oil really Italian, or are we dipping our bread in lamp oil? Why are we masochistically drawn to foods that can hurt us, like hot peppers? Far from being a classic American dish, is apple pie actually . . . English? 
  “As a species, we’re hardwired to obsess over food,” Matt Siegel explains as he sets out “to uncover the hidden side of everything we put in our mouths.” Siegel also probes subjects ranging from the myths—and realities—of food as aphrodisiac, to how one of the rarest and most exotic spices in all the world (vanilla) became a synonym for uninspired sexual proclivities, to the role of food in fairy- and morality tales. He even makes a well-argued case for how ice cream helped defeat the Nazis. 
  The Secret History of Food is a rich and satisfying exploration of the historical, cultural, scientific, sexual, and, yes, culinary subcultures of this most essential realm. Siegel is an armchair Anthony Bourdain, armed not with a chef’s knife but with knowledge derived from medieval food-related manuscripts, ancient Chinese scrolls, and obscure culinary journals. Funny and fascinating, The Secret History of Food is essential reading for all foodies. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  When you combine a sampler quilt with the ever-growing popularity of foundation paper pieced quilt blocks--those inspired by nature and gorgeous quilting prints--it's a win, win. Author Liza Taylor has created 30 flower and creatures-of-flight blocks that have a sophisticated sensibility. Patterns include a butterfly, dragonfly, ladybug, poppy flower, lavender, larkspur, maple leaf, and fern! Individually, these blocks are beautiful; combined into a sampler quilt, they're simply fabulous. The blocks are so pretty that quilters may find themselves making extras for framing or wall hangings to complement their fresh new bedding. The blocks are offered in two sizes 5" and 7", with on-page templates, but Liza instructs quilters how to enlarge a foundation pattern if they're looking for alternative-size blocks. Wonderful World of Paper Pieced Blocks captures a fresh, modern vibe infused with the vintage charm of patchwork quilting.

  Year of No Garbage

  In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

  Over three years he travelled from Wigan to Catalonia, Paris to Motihari, Marrakesh to Eton, and in each location explored both how Orwell experienced the place, and how the place now remembers him as a literary icon. 
   
  Beginning in Northern India, where Orwell was born in 1903, and ending in the Oxfordshire village of Sutton Courtenay, where he was laid to rest in 1950, The Orwell Tour offers an accessible and informative new biography of Orwell through the lens of place.
