The Dane County Farmers' Market is the largest producers-only farmers market in the nation. Last year, it celebrated its 50th anniversary.
In celebration of that significant milestone, the DCFM has released a hardcover, full-color, 258-page cookbook. The Dane County Farmers' Market Cookbook (published this year by Little Creek Press) features 125 recipes that give a global spin to locally-sourced ingredients.
With a foreword written by chef Tory Miller, and photographs by Bill Lubing, the cookbook is written by Terese Allen.
She's the author of a variety of local food columns, and author of several other books, including The Flavor of Wisconsin: An Informal History of Food and Eating in the Badger State, Fresh Market Wisconsin: Recipes, Resources and Stories Celebrating Wisconsin Farm Markets and Roadside Stands, and The Ovens of Brittany Cookbook.
She's a co-founder and longtime leader of the Culinary History Enthusiasts of Wisconsin (CHEW) and past president of REAP Food Group.
In this edition of Madison Book Beat, Terese joins host David Ahrens to talk about Madison's unique food culture, what it means to be a "foodist", and what makes the Dane County Farmers' Market so special.
