This is the book she was meant to write: the pictures are beautiful, the stories inspiring, and the recipes tempting. Janine’s passion and joy are contagious. No matter where you live, Farmers’ Markets of the Heartland will encourage you to follow Janine’s lead and find pleasure and goodness in the markets near you.”—DORIE GREENSPAN, author of Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours “This book is about change-the-world people. Most of them don’t see themselves that way, but that is what they are. Between these covers Janine MacLachlan tells the stories of Heartland farmers, their farmers ’ markets, and the remarkable foods they create. You will definitely want to get into the kitchen and cook their food. But what comes home here are all the ways farmers are making their beliefs work in the real world, and how they’re reaching out into their communities. This is not your usual farmers’ market cookbook; Janine gives us a glimpse of how small-scale agriculture might look in the future.” —LYNNE ROSSETTO KASPER, host of The Splendid Table®, public radio’s national food show from American Public Media a volume in the series heartland foodways University of Illinois Press Urbana, Chicago, and Springfield www.press.uillinois.edu ISBN 978-0-252-07863-7 $24.95 U.S. ...
