A Delicious Wisconsin Book of 125 Harvest Recipes
This farm to table cookbook is a gorgeous, warm-hearted salute to the nationally renowned Dane County Farmers’ Market in Madison, Wisconsin. It is the largest producers-only farmers market in the United States, attracting thousands of tourists and locals weekly. Madison has been called a top foodie paradise thanks to the 150+ vendors selling farm-fresh vegetables and fruit, pastured meats, world-class cheese, luscious baked goods, maple syrup and honey, and artisan foods from all corners of the state.
“As a sous chef in New York City . . . I didn’t know much about Wisconsin’s capital city, but even in Manhattan the Dane County Farmers’ Market was a legend.”
—Chef Tory Miller, James Beard Award Winner
