9. Heartland: The Cookbook
Judith Fertig
Andrews McMeel
April 2011
There's no way to summarize a region that's made up of 12 states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). And longtime food writer and cookbook author Judith Fertig knows that. But what she does do (and does well) with The Heartland is acquaint readers to some of the food and faces behind the misunderstood Midwest. With a book full of recipes like "Wisconsin Cranberry Jam" and "Roast Heritage Turkey," a glimpse of some of the (great) Great Lakes smokehouses, and an introduction to old-school Midwestern ranchers like John and Dorothy Priskie of Fountain Prairie Inn and Farms (who take exactly one grass-fed steer a week to be slaughtered), Fertig and photographers Jonathan Chester and Ben Pieper paint a portrait of a culturally and geographically diverse region, rich in tradition, and, most important for chefs, teeming with high quality local product.
