Gastro Obscura
A Food Adventurer’s Guide
Cecily Wong and Dylan Thuras
W e’ve been stuck at home for long enough! It’s time to get out and
taste the world again. From those ever-curious, ever-adventurous
minds behind the #1 New York Times bestselling Atlas Obscura ®,
with over 800,000 copies in print, comes an unputdownable guide
that marries our endless appetite for travel with our insatiable interest
in food. Continent by continent, country by country, Gastro Obscura
takes up the mantle of Atlas Obscura to radically expand our sense
of wonder about the world—in this case, what humans eat and drink,
which turns out to be far more marvelous than we could ever imagine.
Created by the founders of Atlas Obscura, Gastro Obscura delivers
fresh food stories daily to the millions of Atlas Obscura readers,
Facebook fans, and Instagram followers, along with its own dedicated
email newsletter that is currently reaching over 192,000. And Cecily
Wong and Dylan Thuras are now serving up the best of it in a
lavishly illustrated food lover’s gift of nearly 500 dishes, ingredients,
traditions, and experiences.
Discover English bog butter. “Threads of God”
pasta (only three women know how to make it).
The best black bean fritter restaurant in Brazil.
The world’s largest floating restaurant. A Texas
vending machine that serves up full-sized pecan pies.
Focusing as much on food’s place in our lives as in
our bellies, the book covers History—the network
of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. Culture—
picture four million women gathering to make rice
pudding. Travel—scale China’s sacred Mount Hua
to reach a tea house. Festivals—chase a wheel of
double Gloucester at Britain’s annual Cooper’s Hill
cheese-rolling competition. And such truly surprising
delicacies as sturgeon spinal cord, blood tofu,
stinkbug tacos, and more.
Fascinating

they dance all night long to the music of the Woodland Dance Trio (boar flute,

just for curious kids!
The bestselling Fandex decks have been given a
complete overhaul to make them just right for children
ages 8 and up—the illustrations are brighter and bolder,
the die-cuts are simplified to make the cards easier to leaf
through, and the text is livelier and age-appropriate. But
the unique promise of Fandex is right here—a “facts that

fascinating images and information about topics kids love.

Fandex: Dinosaurs, with more than 200,000 in print, 53 die-cut cards in a hinged deck
Fandex Kids: Dinosaurs features 48 of the most
amazing creatures from the Age of Reptiles that still rule
our imaginations. Kids will learn about the pigeon-sized
Archaeopteryx, which may have been a step in the evolution
from dinosaur to bird, with feathers and a wishbone, but
with the bony tail, teeth, and claws of a reptile. And the
enormous Brachiosaurus, which scientists believe could live as
long as 100 years! In addition to profiles of dinosaur species,
the deck includes a timeline of the Mesozoic Era, a glossary,
size comparisons, and more.
In Fandex Kids: Ocean, kids will discover the oceans’
biological wonders that we’re only now starting to
understand. Like the Cuvier’s beaked whale, which has been
recorded diving as deep as 9,816 feet below the surface,
farther than any other mammal; and giant kelp, found in
cool coastal waters filled with nutrients that help it grow up
to two feet every day—that’s right, two feet! In addition to
profiles of ocean species, the deck includes information about
ocean depth zones, ecosystems, a glossary, and more.

Written by the irrepressible Dan Whalen, Nachos for Dinner combines the
mad-genius spirit of his previous books, S’mores! and Tots!, with the practical
brilliance of Sheet Pan Suppers. First, Whalen breaks down the nacho’s intrinsic
appeal to its three essential components—a crispy base, a melty sauce, and a
flavorful topper. And then he gives you the three flavor profiles—a lot of umami,
a little heat, and something sour or pickled. From there the world is your nacho • The irresistible snack reimagined—
