In this splendidly illustrated book, food writer and self-described farm groupie Janine MacLachlan embarks on a tour of seasonal markets and farmstands throughout the Midwest, sampling local flavors from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. She conducts delicious research as she meets farmers, tastes their food, and explores how their businesses thrive in the face of an industrial food supply. She tells the stories of a pair of farmers growing specialty crops on a few acres of northern Michigan for just a few months out of the year, an Ohio cattle farm that has raised heritage beef since 1820, and a Minnesota farmer who tirelessly champions the Jimmy Nardello sweet Italian frying pepper. Along the way, she savors vibrant red carrots, slurpy peaches, vast quantities of specialty cheeses, and some of the tastiest pie to cross anyone`s lips. Informed by debates about eating local, seasonal crops, organic farming, sanitation, and biodiversity, Farmers` Markets of the Heartland tantalizes with special recipes from farm-friendly chefs and dozens of luscious color photographs that will inspire you to harvest the homegrown flavors in your own neighborhood.
The food scene in Paris has changed dramatically since 2007, when Markets of Paris was first published. Yes, the same markets are held in the same locales as always—literally, for centuries— but many have undergone a remarkable transformation led by a young generation of purveyors focused, even more than their predecessors, on local and organic (“bio”) produce. Markets of Paris, 2nd Edition revisits the entire market scene in Paris. The new edition is even “greener” with updated entries that emphasize the three main march s biologiques and explore new trends throughout all the markets. Other updates focus on the most interesting vendors and most unique and enticing offerings to be found at each locale. New features include listings of cooking classes and guided tours of the markets that show you how and what to buy, and how to cook, the ingredients purchased. The authors also add picnic places and suggested picnic menus using items from nearby markets. In keeping with growing interest in knowing where food comes from, the authors include profiles and photos of farmers and other artisanal suppliers behind the best food stalls and restaurants. Restaurant recommendations are updated to emphasize those that are noted for using fresh, local, seasonal, and organic ingredients, or that are otherwise unique and foodie-friendly. A “what’s in season when” listing has been added that highlights what’s most plentiful or fresh throughout the year.
