Flavor of Wisconsin for Kids

What does Wisconsin taste like? The flavor of the state comes from its land and its people. These two main ingredients—land and people—are the sources of many familiar and not-so-familiar foods that you will learn about in this book.

Did you know that foods have their own stories, shaped by where each food comes from? These stories help us remember that the foods we eat come from our waters, soils, and forests. They also come from the people who have hunted, gathered, and cultivated foods here, or who brought food traditions with them when they moved here from other places.

In this book you’ll find out how to cook many different kinds of Wisconsin foods. And when you eat them, you’ll not only taste delicious dishes, you’ll also get a real taste of Wisconsin history, geography, and culture.
