Defining the Flavors of Madison
There’s a cookbook out that showcases the ingredients and flavors of Madison. And we’re gonna stop ya right there, it is WAY more than brats and cheese curds. It features recipes from the farmers, chefs and shoppers who frequent the Dane County Farmers’ Market, one of the oldest and largest in the country. With recipes for curtido to panzanella to ratatouille, and gorgeous photos of the food and the people behind them, it’s a celebration of all who call Madison home.
We speak to author Terese Allen about what’s inside The Dane County Farmers’ Market Cookbook: Local Foods, Global Flavors.
Terese Allen has several upcoming events including one on Sunday, June 9 at 2:00 p.m. at the Warner Park Community Center called “Madison’s Iconic Food Cultures.” And in nearby Baraboo, Allen will be doing a book signing and recipe samples on June 30 at 10 a.m at Bekah Kate’s shop during Baraboo’s monthly Sunday Market.
This episode originally aired on June 29, 2023.
Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers.
