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.

Crispy Pork Wontons

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Danno 
Quite tasty. I cook them in about 3/4" of oil in a large skillet, turning once - you don't really need that much oil to cook these.

Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccini Noodles

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Sumchelle 
Nearly a five star... Bonus points for ease! Sauteed the chicken in olive oil and seasoned with basil and garlic. Halved the sauce, using one stick of butter, part skim ricotta, lots more (Asiago & Parmesan blend) cheese, and seasoned with nutmeg, Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle, parsley, red pepper flakes and loads of pepper. Those who had a problem with "Grittiness" didn't cook the sauce long enough. (I actually boiled mine for a couple minutes). Next time I will add broccoli.

Best White Icing Ever

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by WeirdAuntMartha 
Easy recipe, very flexible. Took others' suggestions and substituted half the shortening with butter. Also added only 3 cups of powdered sugar, but I love sweet stuff so I think it probably would have been good with 4. Easy to tint and decorate with!
