Modern Recipes from the Heartland,

photos by Maren Ellingboe King and Elisa Johnson.
Inspired by an archive of recipes from the author’s grandmother and great-grandmother, she perfectly combines the nostalgia of traditional midwestern dishes and influences of her Scandinavian heritage with an emphasis on local, unprocessed ingredients. Apple Gjetost Grilled Cheese, Lefse Pinwheels, Caraway Roast Chicken, Venison with Lingonberries and Juniper, Cardamom Stone Fruit Cobbler, and, of course, several variations of the hotdish provide the perfect combination of comfort and inspiration.
