Whether you plan to tour the country this summer or not, you may profit from the research of food-loving explorers offered in two well-stuffed paperbacks:
“Jane and Michael Stern’s Roadfood” is a revised and updated edition, the sixth, of the Sterns’ popular coast-to-coast guide to eating places, first published in 1978.
This volume features nearly 600 places to get a bite, including barbecue joints, lobster shacks, ice cream parlors, highway diners, cafes, kitchens and restaurants, with regional maps to guide the hungry traveler; $18.95.
“The Cooking Ladies’ Recipes From the Road” by Phyllis Hinz and Lamont Mackay presents 100 recipes that the Canadian-born authors guarantee can be cooked in a recreational vehicle – from their own experience.
Their book, a new edition of this combined travelogue and cookbook first published in 2003, tells stories from along the way; $17.95.
Both books are available at bookstores or online.
Cheese travel guide
An updated “Real California Cheese Country” travel guide and map features new graphics and the most recent visitor information.
The free guide invites the public to visit cheesemakers in California. Visitors can sample a variety of cheeses, talk to cheesemakers and, in some locations, watch cheese being made.
The guide lists 27 California cheese producers that are open to the public for visits or retail sales.
