Lori Fredrich will share the inspiration behind Wisconsin Field to Fork, a unique cookbook which weaves the stories of local farmers with 70 chef-driven recipes using Wisconsin-grown ingredients. She’ll also present a brief reading of Chef Jan Kelly’s forward to the book, which offers a unique perspective on the value of local food.
About the Author
LORI FREDRICH is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwined with each and every dish.
She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales through her work as Dining Editor at OnMilwaukee and in her books Milwaukee Food and Wisconsin Field to Fork. As a passionate champion of the local dining scene, Lori has reimagined the traditional restaurant critic’s role into that of a trusted dining concierge, guiding food lovers to new culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. Lori is also a 2024 recipient of the Wisconsin Restaurant Association’s “Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch” award.
