TCDP TOP PICK: Minnesotans love their farmers' markets—but if you're like me, you go to a farmers' market and think, "Well, this is pleasant! Whoa, that thing looks crazy! Can you actually eat that? Will I die from tasting this unpasteurized cave cheese? Okay...where's the beer?" Never fear, Beth Dooley is here—for the likes of me, and for those of you who would actually know what to do with a parsnip besides play it in Scrabble. She and photographer Mette Nielsen will be presenting Minnesota's Bounty: The Farmers Market Cookbook on May 15 at the Merriam Park Library. - Jay Gabler |
