From the founders of the popular food website Heavy Table comes Lake Superior Flavors, a celebration of food culture around the shores of the greatest of the Great Lakes. Author James Norton and photographer Becca Dilley take readers on a culinary tour around Lake Superior, hitting high-traffic tourist spots and cultural institutions as well as off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
Norton and Dilley also meet food producers and artisans—fishermen, cheesemakers, brewers, and more—and explore the culinary history and current food culture of four distinct regions. Along the North Shore of Minnesota, Norton and Dilley ride along with a herring fisherman struggling to preserve his way of life. In Thunder Bay and Ontario, the authors investigate the roots of the locavore movement in a remarkable conversation with an Ojibwe woman about native food. In the remote Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, the pair encounters a group of philosophical gourmet monks who make jam from foraged berries. And along the south shore of the lake, they talk with a Wisconsin cheesemaker and goatherd who takes his flock on a nightly walk—cocktail in hand. Alongside Norton and Dilley’s travelogues are capsule reviews of restaurants, insightful tasting notes, and sidebars featuring important dishes of each region—from smoked fish and skillet-popped wild rice to pannukakku (Finnish pancakes) and cudighi (Italian meatball sandwiches).
Showcasing the wild beauty and rugged authenticity of the places and people along the circle tour, Lake Superior Flavors is ideal for local foodies and for visitors who want to learn about food traditions through delicious eating and lively traveling.

Title: I'm glad I bought the book!
Review: I have made that circle tour a couple times. The book is good, and I did learn about some places I was not aware of previously, and will definitely look for the next time I do the circle. I liked also that so much of the history of places was included. I was a little disappointed to see that some of my favorite places that I felt were a little bit unusual and noteworthy had not been included. Of course places covered in the book were places the authors had been to and knew about. No one could ever cover them all. I'm glad I bought the book.

Title: It was fine for food
Review: I ordered the wrong book. It was fine for food, but I wanted info about highlights of things to see and do. maps of cities, etc. To take a trip around the Lake Superior, is much more than just food. I really wasted my money.

Title: wildly pretentious
Review: First the positive: The photos are decent, and the people featured were great. But because the characters were so compelling, so it was even more disappointing that the book smacked of Nortonâs signature elitism. This is a book for food snobs, not food lovers. Itâs a bit sad that these stories werenât told by someone less pretentious. Beyond that, it left out some of the most noteworthy eateries around Lake Superior, which was a disappointment. The book is, of course, outdatedâmy friend who gifted it to me warned me that a lot of the restaurants were already out of business shortly after it was published. If you can find it used for $5 or so, it might be worth it, but I certainly wouldnât pay full price.

Review: This is a must read for all those interested in the culinary side of Lake Superior and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Some of the information may be outdated by now, but it is still fun to read and peruse.
