MIDWEST

RECOVERING OUR ANCESTORS’ GARDENS

“The book brims with information. . . . This well-researched book will be most useful to launch discussions or perhaps to read chapter by chapter.”—Publishers Weekly

“The political goal of empowerment through dietary change is certainly worthy and most likely to be translated into action when generated from within by such a prominent member of a tribal nation as Devon Mihesuah.”—Linda Murray Berzok, Gastronomica

FRIED WALLEYE AND CHERRY PIE

With its corn by the acre, beef on the hoof, Quaker Oats, and Kraft Mac n’ Cheese, the Midwest eats pretty well and feeds the nation on the side. But there’s more to the midwestern kitchen and palate than the farm food and sizable portions the region is best known for beyond its borders. It is to these heartland specialties, from the heartwarming to the downright weird, that Fried Walleye and Cherry Pie invites the reader.
