"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are." This
oft-quoted maximum from celebrated gastronome Jean Anthelme
Brillat-Savarin, succinctly describes the connection between
foodways and identity. First published in 1986 and now back in
print, "The Minnesota Ethnic food Book explores the rich landscape
of food and cultural heritage by describing the traditional foods
and foodways of many of the state's ethnic groups. Well researched
and thoughtfully written essays describe the meals and customs that
help families maintain ties to their past and sustain a rich sense
of ethnic heritage in their day-to-day lives. More than 150
authentic recipes, collected from home cooks across the state,
impart the ethnic flavours of Minnesota. Included are recipes for
everyday tables--such as Swedish meatballs, Creole chicken and
Among stir-fried chicken and vegetables--as well as foods for
special occasions--including Greek artichoke pilaf, German
sauerbraten, and Danish custard cream layer cake. The result is a
careful researched, warm, and fascinating book that is all about
people, foods, and enduring values.
