Please join us for a wonderful evening on Tuesday, November 10th at 7 PM as we welcome award-winning cookbook author Crystal Schlueter. Crystal will share her new cookbook of regional recipes, End of the Road Cookbook: Traditional Favorites from the Iron Range. This is your chance to find a new recipe for the holidays or an everyday meal to impress your family! We’ll also be able to sample a recipe or two from the cookbook. Invite a friend for this pre-holiday night out. This event is free, but please RSVP on our event webpage for planning purposes.
A microcosm of the rich traditions of a storied region, End of the Road Cookbook 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. Crystal 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 the “end of the road.”
Crystal Schlueter writes for the Ely Echo and the New Babbitt Weekly News. Her recipes have won or placed in more than fifty contests, including for Taste of Home, Simple and Delicious, and The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Schlueter lives in Babbitt, Minnesota.
