“Fans of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle – this book [A Cook’s Journey] is a must! We loca-vores are not alone! The author tours the reader around the Midwest: everything from farms to restaurants even a school, all devoted to local food.” Jennifer at Beagle Books, Park Rapids, MN.
“When you hear ‘farm-fresh’ what do you think of? If your mental images include cows, rolling hills, you’re thinking of the MidWest. If I say ‘Organic’, and ‘Slow Food’ do you think of the MidWest? You should as Chef Kurt Michael Friese proves in his new book, A Cook’s Journey Slow Food in the Heartland. Inside this book you find: great restaurants, people that want to make the world a better place, great ideas, places to shop and Al Capone’s favorite whiskey. This book will teach you how to slow down and enjoy good food with great people” --Joyce at Apple Blossom Books, OshKosh, WI
“For anyone interested in preserving regional flavors, hospitality, and sustainable agricultural practices, Slow Food will make the perfect gift. Author Kurt Michael Friese made me want to visit every featured farm, vineyard, inn, market and restaurant, while raising my awareness of those folks who are working to preserve so much more than just a nostalgic view of the way things were. Bravo!” --Keri at The Kaleidoscope: Our Focus is You, Hampton IA
