Amy Thielen
â€œThe Midwest is rising,â€ writes Minnesota native Amy Thielen, host of ,Heartland Table, on Food Networkâ€”and her engaging, keenly American debut cookbook, with 200 recipes that herald a revival in the regionâ€™s cuisine, is delicious proof.,Amy Thielen grew up in rural northern Minnesota, waiting in lines for potluck buffets amid loops of smoked sausages from her uncleâ€™s meat market and in the company of women who could put up jelly without a recipe. She spent years cooking in some of New York Cityâ€™s best restaurants, but it took moving home in 2008 for her to rediscover the wealth and diversity of the Midwestern table, and to witness its reinvention. ,The New Midwestern Table, reveals all that sheâ€™s come to loveâ€”and learnâ€”about the foods of her native Midwest, through updated classic recipes and numerous encounters with spirited home cooks and some of the regionâ€™s most passionate food producers. With 150 color photographs capturing these fresh-from-the-land dishes and the striking beauty of the terrain, this cookbook will cause any home cook to fall in love with the captivating flavors of the American heartland.
