Minnesota Recipes and Traditional Foods



Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with
abandon or not at all. ~Harriet van Horne

Food traditions are passed down through the generations. Foods evoke incredibly strong memories and feelings. Food not only nourishes the body, it also comforts the spirit and helps create a sense of community.

Eating is a very intimate way of connecting with people; you sit across a table from each other and share your food. Cooking is an act of love.

Minnesota has a complex and multi-ethnic history of food and a reputation for wonderful cooking.

Here is just a small sampling of Minnesota recipes for you to explore:

Minnesota State Symbol Recipes

Many of Minnesota's State Symbols are foods. I thought it would be fun to include a few recipes featuring the foods that are so much a part of the Minnesota experience that they have received an "official" designation

Native American Food and Recipes



I spent many years of my childhood in Northern Minnesota both on, and near, several reservations. Wild rice, wild game and fish, berries and other native staples are still part of my family's diet.

Scandinavian Recipes



My husband's family is "Minnesota Scandinavian" with deep roots in, and connections to, both Norway and Sweden. When we married, I began to enjoy, and learn to make, many of the traditional recipes that are so widely appreciated in Minnesota.

Lutefisk and Lefse are the two items that immediately come to mind when most people think of Scandinavian cooking, so we will start with those.
