There is an intoduction to the ancestry, geography and climate of the USA and Canada and a history of the countries' food production, together with an outline of crops introduced by various settlers. This is expanded upon in a chapter on the USA and Canada's agricultural regions and climates, where an account of sesonal crops and livestock is given. The North Americans are shown as health conscious as most food labels specify calorific value and fat content but fast food is also shown to be popular. The text is complemented by illustrated recipes of varying complexity. This series is intended to provide background reading for GCSE studies and Standard Grade in Scotland.
