N.D. cookbook seeks recipes
Read North Dakota is publishing a new cookbook, “North Dakota: A Taste of Tradition,” and is looking for the recipes for families’ favorite traditional dishes. A sampling of recipes from the cookbook will be showcased in an upcoming Prairie Public cooking television show. All ethnic recipes are welcome, whether they are first generation North Dakotan, a descendent of immigrants, or part of the indigenous population that has lived here for centuries.
Read North Dakota is publishing a new cookbook, “North Dakota: A Taste of Tradition,” and is looking for the recipes for families’ favorite traditional dishes. A sampling of recipes from the cookbook will be showcased in an upcoming Prairie Public cooking television show. All ethnic recipes are welcome, whether they are first generation North Dakotan, a descendent of immigrants, or part of the indigenous population that has lived here for centuries.
Share recipes online or by mail. Go to www. prairiepublic.org/television and click on the Taste Of Tradition link, or call 1-800-359-6900 to request a recipe submission form. Six of the recipes will be selected by Read North Dakota to be featured in Prairie Public’s cooking special, “A Taste of Tradition.” The cooks submitting the selected recipes will be guests on the television program, preparing their recipes in Prairie Public’s studio kitchen and telling the stories behind their food traditions. “A Taste of Tradition” will air this fall.
In addition to the recipes, the story behind the dish is also desired. Write about the dish, where you learned to make it, special events featuring the dish, and why it is important. Has it been passed down through the generations in the family? Did the family bring it with them when they migrated to America? Is it a dish common in a community? Along with family stories, those interested can submit photographs of dishes and the cooks who handed them down. However, a story with the recipe is not re-quired. Recipes alone are also welcome.
The goal is to make this a valued cookbook that reflects the many cultures in North Dakota.
Read North Dakota is dedicated to celebrating and promoting literature created in and about North Dakota. Partners include the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the North Dakota Humanities Council, North Dakota Council on the Arts, Prairie Public Broadcasting, and the North Dakota Library Association.
