Tricia Cornell was my second farmers’ market cooking inspiration. Deborah Madison was my first and if I know anything, I know Tricia would be pleased that my brain works like that. First, “What would Deborah Madison, author of 14 books on local cooking do?” with this pile of green beans, and second … “What would Tricia Cornell, master of Minnesota veggie season and CSA seasonal cooking, do” with this stinking Kohlrabi? You see, Deborah Madison is the national icon for cookbook authors who cook local food nationally and Tricia Cornell is my Minnesota icon for cookbook authors who cook local food. They are both great companions when staring down a pile of seasonal vegetables. The cookbook that turned me onto Tricia was Eat More Vegetables, suggested by my first CSA. Her second book, Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook also helped me make great food with produce I wasn’t always sure how to use up.I hope you enjoy the conversation and a recipe for Garlic Scape Pesto Pasta (it’s almost in season again). There is als

I had a delightful conversation with Amanda Paa. Amanda is a food stylist, the author of the “Smitten With Squash Cookbook” and prolific food blogger at HeartbeetKitchen.com, a truly wonderful blog that more recently has featured her exploration into Sourdough Bread baking.Take a listen and you can order her starter here:In Amanda’s words, “Trying to create a sourdough starter on your own can be difficult and take the course of 2-3 weeks. Instead, acquiring a sourdough starter from someone that is strong and mature is the easiest and most effective route! You can buy part of my mature, organic sourdough starter (wild yeast) that has been lovingly cared for and fed for over 15+ years, with original heritage from Australia! You’ll be ready to bake within a week.You’ll also receive detailed instructions on how to feed and maintain your starter to create the wonderful sourdough bread you know and love.”Follow Amanda on Instagram @HeartbeetKitchen or subscribe to her newsletter for all her latest recipes.Here is a

What a treat it was to interview Yotam Ottolenghi last week for our Weekly Dish radio show podcast. Yotam will be in town on May 5, at 7 p.m. for Voices 22, the speaker series at Temple Israel. Get your tickets here. Stephanie and I really enjoyed talking with him about hospitality, cooking, covid, and where he likes to vacation.I loved chatting with him about his “Covid Cooking.” Here is a link to his mushroom polenta dish that I have made that is great. Cakes? He also mentioned he still loves making cakes. Here is a lemon pound cake recipe he inspired and his best chocolate cake.My favorite part of the conversation, the part I really related to, was where he talked about cooking during Covid and how you didn’t dare throw anything away, including every scrap of stale bread (sourdough baking anyone?). He used up his bread and veggie and cheese scraps by making savory bread puddings. I do this too. The bread puddings are super versatile and you can use any leftover veggies, meats, or cheeses.

For Minnesota native Wayne Kemper and his friends Tim Roche and Tony Ullman, the love of hockey runs deep. Not only because they love the game, but because of the memories of gathering at each others’ homes in high school to bond over food. As they got older, they all played “old-man hockey,” where they’d play and then gather with their families for food and drinks. It was at these gatherings that Tony started bringing some ofhis homemade salsa for the guys and their families to try. What started out as one tub of homemade salsa to share, turned into entire weekends making hundreds of batches of salsa in a one-gallon Ninja blender to take to hockey rinks, where players and their families would voraciously devour bowl after bowl. The Salsa was an instant hit. and, JoMomma’s Salsa was born.Support the showFollow the Makers of Minnesota on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @MakersofMN.

In some respects, this is the culmination of the New Scenic’s pandemic story. My first interview was on the Makers of Minnesota podcast, right after eating at The New Scenic, a few days into the state of Minnesota’s closure of restaurants. Once Scott established the New Scenic as an outdoor restaurant in an Airstream trailer, Scenic 61, we talked again. This third interview and the publishing of the book come as the r
