Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you think of “Prairie Home Companion,” Jell-O salad, and hot dish when you think of Minnesota cuisine, you’re way off the mark—at least in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul are part of a vibrant Midwest dining scene that’s second only to Chicago. Although the region was settled by Scandinavians drawn to the timber and flour mills, you’ll be hard-pressed to find Norwegian or Swedish restaurants these days now that Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit has closed. New immigrants, from Somalia, Laos, and Mexico have changed the local culinary landscape. Minneapolis is the younger, hipper sibling, with cutting-edge restaurants and architecture (check out the new Guthrie Theater overlooking the Mississippi). St. Paul, the state capitol, is the clean-cut traditionalist; famous Summit Avenue residents included F. Scott Fitzgerald and timber magnate Frederick Weyerhaeuser.

Dark Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by Nissa G

Excellent recipe. I followed it exactly and came up with a great result. The resulting cake was a bit less stable than I'm used to (when I turned it out of the pan, some of the edge crumbled off), but as it was my first cake from scratch I don't know whether that was because cake mixes are generally more stable, or through human error. :) Still, excellent result, time consuming but not challenging, and I'll be making this again.

Crustless Cranberry Pie

Reviewed on Dec. 3, 2008 by pama0101

I made this for a play date and it went over awesome! It was easy to throw together in the afternoon and I had mom's asking for the recipe! I'm making it again tonight for Book Club, great recipe!
