A taste of the heartland today

In this cookbook inspired by recipes from her grandmother and great-grandmother, Minnesota native Maren Ellingboe King perfectly combines the nostalgia of traditional midwestern dishes and influences of her Scandinavian heritage with an emphasis on local, unprocessed ingredients. She celebrates the growing diversity of her home state with a modern take on traditional recipes by using fresh produce, more spice, and more heat, all while retaining the simplicity and approachability of her family’s recipes. Readers will find Apple Gjetost Grilled Cheese, Lefse Pinwheels, and, of course, several variations of the hotdish. Fresh Midwest is the perfect combination of comfort and inspiration with most recipes designed to be made in an hour or less.
