Top Pick #1

"I started working in restaurant kitchens because I wanted to turn that experience into a career in food writing. Run Roots, my first cookbook, is the culmination of that pursuit. Part story, part history, part recipes, I’d like to think Deep Run Roots is much more than a cookbook. And I hope it’s the first of many books like it, I get to write."  -   Vivian Howard

An Ottertail County LOCAL Cook Book!
​Spanky's Stone Hearth owner Josh Hanson is proud of the new 250-page commemorative book about the restaurant that was published in mid-December. The book includes more than 100 recipes from the restaurant as well as stories from its staff and chefs past and present, patrons, friends, farm-to-table food providers and Hanson himself.  -  Vicki Gerdes / Tribune

Top Pick #4

"I wrote This Will Make It Taste Good to inspire you, and I promise it will change the way you cook, the way you think about what’s in your fridge, the way you see yourself in an apron. --- more than half the dishes are vegetarian, gluten-free, or both. These recipes use ingredients that are easy to find, keep around, and cook with — lots of chicken, prepared in a bevy of ways to keep it interesting, and common vegetables like broccoli, kale, squash, and sweet potatoes that look good no matter where you shop." - Vivian Howard
