Editorial Reviews: Product Description Friese's expedition explores and explains the Slow Food movement throughout the American Midwest. If you haven't heard of the Slow Food movement this book will be an eye-opener for you. If you are aware of Slow Food you will be amazed and pleased to learn of the remarkable diversity that this region of the country is providing. Brick oven cooking and traditional Prosciutto in Iowa; micro-breweries in Ann Arbor and St. Louis; smoked lake trout on the shore of Lake Superior; food experts in Minnesota's twin cities and Madison, Wisconsin; exciting ventures in food security and quality in Oklahoma, Nebraska, North and South Dakota; family recipes from Italy in Kansas City; even the rebirth of Al Capone's prohibition rye whiskey. An insightful, inspiring collection that also includes relevant, mouth-watering recipes by the author and the folks featured in this Chef 's remarkable journey. This exploration into the Heartland is not to be missed.

Customer Reviews: Read this one Slowly November 11, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Friese's book is a wonderful tour of so many of the great people, places and work that takes place in the Midwest, especially the Slow ones. The profiles really honor and celebrate the work of farmers and producers using organic and sustainable methods in a way that provides an engaging read and a similar sense of well being that a great meal does. Anyone with an interest in hearing the stories of those involved in the local food movement should read this book.
