If you (or your students) are interested in learning more about the history of American food then you must visit the Key Ingredients America By Food website. The site allows you to learn about food and recipes by various regions of our country. You can also submit your own recipe to the collection that has been created by numerous people across the nation. If you are looking for food related events you can locate them too.

The exhibit is in Allentown, New Jersey now and will be in Cape May County, New Jersey between July 19 and August 31! Check it out!
