The recipes gathered in this delightful cookbook come from every corner of the great state of Minnesota. They reflect the remarkable diversity of the state's population and the broad sweep of its history.

Recipes for traditional dishes drawn from the season camps of Ojibwe and Dakota residents appear side by side with those for soups and stews from farmhouse kitchens, exotic nouveau appetizers, and savory dishes fit to feed a famished crowd. Ethnic specialties such as Pierogies, Tourtiere, Rommegrot and Klub summon memories of the state's immigrant past, while dishes from Somalia, Mexico, Indonesia and other countries shed a fascinating light on the state's ever-changing population.

From rabbit to rhubarb, from venison to veggie burgers, there's something here for everyone who's interested in cooking - and eating - good food!
