Columnist Crystal Schlueter has compiled a hearty collection that delights the palate. A microcosm of the rich traditions of a storied region, \u003ci\u003eEnd of the Road Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e captures little-known recipes that will translate easily to tables in every locale. Potlucks across Minnesota's northland feature a dazzling array of tantalizing dishes. Ojibwe, Slovenian, Italian, German, Irish, Croatian, Polish, Finnish, and Scandinavian flavors sit side by side, inviting guests to indulge in their favorites and swap compliments with their neighbors. Iron Range native Crystal Schlueter collects and perfects traditional preparations, often with her own contemporary twist. While highlighting the \"Five Ps\" of regional cooking--Cornish pasties, Croatian pigs in a blanket, Italian porketta, Slovenian potica, and Finnish pulla--Schlueter also explores the variety of salads (loosely defined) that often appear at community gatherings, the hearty soups that satisfy, the fish and venison and wild rice dishes that are as local as it gets. Comfort food at its finest, this collection includes menus for Boundary Waters adventuring, seasonal meals for Sunday suppers, and intriguingly named dishes like Frog Eye (Pasta) Salad, Green Beans in Whoa Sauce, Root Beer Fish Fry, and Rumbledethumps. Celebrating deep cultural roots and rich ethnic traditions, Crystal Schlueter shows that fine dining awaits at \"end of the road.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Crystal Schlueter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681343419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrystal Schlueter \u003c\/b\u003ehas been developing recipes for more than a dozen years.
