Description

What are some food favorites in Wisconsin, and why are they special to us? How have our landscape and the individuals who have inhabited it contributed to our food heritage? This unique blend of history book and cookbook gives kids a real taste for hands-on history by showing them how one can create and sample foods that link us to the resources found in our state and the heritage of those who produce them.

Designed for kids and adults to make use of together, The Flavor of Wisconsin for Kids draws upon the same source material that makes The Flavor of Wisconsin by Harva Hachten and Terese Allen a captivating and authoritative document of the history and traditions of food in our state, and presents it in a colorful, kid-friendly format that’s both instructional and fun. Mindful of the importance of teaching kids about where the foods they eat come from, every chapter examines a different food source—forests; waters; vegetable, meat, and dairy farms; gardens; and communities. The authors explore our state’s foodways, from their origins to how they’ve changed through the years, and then offer a number of related recipes. The recipes are written for up to date kitchens but use many traditional ingredients and techniques. Level of difficulty is clearly noted, in addition to whether a recipe requires a heat source to prepare.
