“Come, You Taste” in Minnesota
Did you know, Road Trips Foodies, that Minnesota’s Iron Range has a culinary language all its own?
You can learn more at the “Come, You Taste: Iron Range Cookbook Author Event“, set for November 14, 2015, in the Mill City Museum, 704 South Second Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
B.J. Carpenter hosts a series of cooking demonstrations based on her new book Come, You Taste: Family Recipes from the Iron Range (MNHS Press). Potica or kolache, sarma or braciole, lutefisk or baccala, fattigman or lefse — those are some of the specialties.
The pursuit of rich iron ore in the early 20th century drew workers who hailed from Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Italy and many other places, and as the men went to work in the mines, their families adjusted together to this new land.
Cooking demonstrations will be at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. in the Baking Lab. After each demonstration, copies of the book will be available for purchase (and, yes, they can be signed by the author).
