This book is a must-read for Minnesota natives and tourists alike! Tabbert Long has written a book that honors Minnesota's unique culinary traditions. In so doing, she honors the state's inhabitants. Unlike a travel guide that offers no personal perspective, this book's author both loves and understands the place about which she writes. An added bonus: the book contains delicious recipes from Minnesota restaurants!

Wonderful! Not only has Mrs. Long compiled an exceptional resource of the supremely underrated food-gifts that Minnesota generously offers its denizens and travellers, but she has done so with superb writing and wit. I hope there are many more books on the way from Mrs. Long!

Donna Long is amazing. The only thing I would reccomend is to write a book about Wisconsin. I know for a fact the Wisconsin has better places to eat, more hometown charm, and our cheese is better. But Donna Long did an amazing job. I bet she had a lot of fun going all over the state and getting a taste of everything. The stories of the people she met was the best part of the book. A must have for anyone who would like to learn more about food and local town charm.
