In Ms. Dooley's world, 'kids drank cider because milk was reserved for making butter and cheese.' And we get to meet neighbors like Atina Diffley, who dropped out of a music conservatory at age nineteen to grow food, 'and who calls on all of us to reclaim our land, our food, and power over our lives.' Certainly a message to love.\" \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Huffington Post\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In this homage to local food, Dooley paints an exquisite portrait. Each of Dooley's twelve chapters showcases a different local food such as apples, wheat, chestnuts, cranberries, corn, wild rice, and sweet potatoes. The author includes a few recipes but explains that this is not a cookbook; rather, it is the story of the author building relationships with the 'small, independent farmers, processors, and chefs' who make their living building and contributing to local economies throughout the Upper Midwest.\" \n\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Beth Dooley has written the book we need, a collection of stories about the foods we eat in winter, the season that is so often ignored, as if it doesn't count somehow, or even exist. Part memoir and part serious food study with beguiling but essential recipes, you don't have to be from Minnesota to apply the wisdom of In Winter's Kitchen to your own life, wherever it takes place.

Dooley tells the story of the iconic foods of the Midwest landscape, their origins, their production as well as the challenges to the integrity of local food. Each chapter celebrates the relationship between land and culture, from Anishinaabek wild rice to Hmong sweet potatoes. Her warm inviting prose invites you to the kitchen table and reminds you of what we're all really hungry for--connection. I wanted to linger with the lush images, ripe with memory and mothering. 'Recipes, ' she says 'are stories with happy endings.'\" \n\u003cb\u003e--Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of \u003ci\u003eBraiding Sweetgrass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Beth Dooley creates culture in the kitchen, connecting readers, farmers, and food in the soup pot of biological diversity.

Having learned to cook in her grandmother's kitchen, shopping at farm stands and making preserves, she couldn't help but wonder, \"Do people here really eat swampy broccoli, iceberg lettuce, and fried chicken for lunch everyday?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese assumptions quickly faded as she began to explore farmers' markets and the burgeoning co-op scene in the Twin Cities, and eventually discovered a local food movement strong enough to survive the toughest winter. From the husband and wife who run one of the largest organic farms in the region to Native Americans harvesting wild rice, and from award-winning cheesemakers to Hmong immigrant farmers growing the best sweet potatoes in the country, a rich ecosystem of farmers, artisanal producers, and restaurateurs comes richly to life in this fascinating book. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Winter's Kitchen\u003c\/em\u003e \"personalizes the path from farm to fork with heart and skill\" (\u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e), demonstrating that even in a place with a short growing season, food grown locally and organically can be healthy, community-based, environmentally conscious, and--most of all--delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dooley, Beth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2016-10-11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Cooking|Essays \u0026amp; Narratives|Cooking|Regional \u0026amp; Cultural|American - Middle Western States|Nature|Environmental Conservation \u0026amp; Protection|Biography \u0026amp; Autobiography|Memoirs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571313614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781571313614\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52139817074969,"sku":"SP-9781571313614","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/21cb3d9c-7cb2-4d06-800d-d8937c6f2ce9.jpg?v=1784473216","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/in-winters-kitchen-growing-roots-and-breaking-bread-in-the-northern-heartland","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
