The description said the recipe book might have marks in the margin and would not be in the best shape. It turns out that is just like new. The price was perfect and the recipes are great.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a misnomer... it is in you back yard too..., December 25, 1998

This review is from: Fresh Market Wisconsin: Recipes, Resources and Stories Celebrating Wisconsin Farm Markets and Roadside Stands (Paperback)

How many times have you looked at a book and realized what a dis-service the author did to it by creating a misnomer for the book. Terese Allen did just that with her book, Fresh Market - W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N because this book could easily be about just about every state in our country. When reading the little stories and the verses, I could just imagine the markets I've been to throughout the Delaware and Pennsylvania as well as a few others I've been through in other states.

Fresh Market - W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N contains some excellent recipes that would use the fresh produce from these excursions. One could also be normal and buy them from a regular grocery store, however I think that a big part of making these recipes is the thrill of the 'hunt' as well as the preparation of the food. Some of the recipes - like Barley Dressed Asparagus Spears; Sassy Mushrooms; Bacon-Fried Green Beans; Linguine with Cauliflower, Garlic and Hot Red Pepper; Broccoli and Apple Soup, Herbed New Potatoes, Onions & Peas, and Curried Shrimp with Melon Wedges - just make you envision the freshness of the ingredients.

Fresh Market - W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N published by Amherst Press is written by Terese Allen and is put on my 'to have' list for the desire to use only the freshest of ingredients in this ever-fast paced world of canned goods. This book shows us that it doesn't take that much more time, and it is a lot more fune to search for quality ingredients when putting together our everyday meals.
