Disclosure: I received a copy of Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook to review. No other compensation was received for this post. The thoughts and feelings expressed are my own.
Tricia Cornell, author of Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook, Eat More Vegetables and writer for the Heavy Table, has recently introduced a new title. It is a collection of approximately 80 recipes from local chefs and growers plus her own recipes in Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook. This book has a huge variety – Yak and Green Chili Stew to Daikon Radish Pickles. I did not realize that yak was even raised in Minnesota and so far I am a lifer of this state minus a few years in ND for college.
Beyond recipes, Tricia shares how to select ideal produce, when to find them at the market, and how to properly store them. Minnesota farmer markets across the state and in the metro are mapped in the front of the book for your convenience too.
I made the Rhubarb-Blueberry Cobbler from Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook and had a few friends be guinea pigs with my family. It received rave reviews. 🙂 My rhubarb and blueberries were frozen, but it was still a tasty delight.
I can’t wait to experience new tasty pleasures during the upcoming Minnesota growing season with Tricia’s collection. There are ways to prepare Minnesota staples, like wild rice and apples, plus the yak or fiddlehead ferns. I think buying local is very important if you can’t grown your own.
