Cloake, Felicity2026
Books
When Felicity Cloake announced that she was planning her dream cycle around the United States, not everyone shared her excitement. Friends were horrified - 'but, what will you eat?'. The country certainly boasts an outsized reputation around the world for fast food and faster living - everything is louder, brighter, bigger, if not always better - yet for all the cartoonish depictions of its culture on the big and small screen, Felicity was convinced that in reality, most Americans are just like the rest of us. despite a troubling national tendency to eat doughnuts for breakfast. Her mission; to take a closer look at the iconic American dishes that have conquered the world - including those doughnuts - and the immigrant cultures behind them, to visit the landscapes and people behind foods that are so familiar many of us now don't even recognise them as American.
