Description

The cultural and physical landscape of the Great Black Swamp is a monument to the hardship and perseverance of the individuals who drained and settled the region. They reworked densely forested wetlands into one of the productive agricultural areas within the nation. Commercial crops of corn, soy, tomatoes and wheat are dominant within the fertile loam of southeastern Michigan, northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Alternatively, each and every immigrant group calling this place home brought its own culinary traditions–from pickled eggs to peanut butter pie. With a foreword by Lucy Long of the Center for Food and Culture, writer Nathan Crook explores the landscape, history, culture and representative cuisines that make eating here a novel and noteworthy enjoy.
