While in many ways the first edition of "The Flavor of Wisconsin" has stood the test of time very well, food-related culture and business have changed immensely in the twenty-five years since its publication. Well-known regional food expert and author Terese Allen examines aspects of food, cooking, and eating that have changed or emerged since the first edition, including the explosion of farmers' markets; organic farming and sustainability; the "slow food" movement; artisanal breads, dairy, herb growers, and the like; and how relatively recent immigrants have contributed to Wisconsin's remarkably rich food scene."

2010 Winner, National Indie Excellence Awards, Regional Cookbooks
"I wish there were a law requiring each of our fifty states to have a book about its life and food and I would offer as a model for that book "The Flavor of Wisconsin. . . ."an American book that should be of more than local interest." (Nach Waxman, Kitchen Arts & Letters bookstore, New York City)
"Food lovers will treasure this volume, not only as a splendid cookbook but as a rare and vivid document in real-world food studies." (Laura Shapiro, author of "Perfection Salad" and "Julia Child")"A wondrous array of kitchen stories, some hidden, some classic. . . . "The Flavor of Wisconsin "is a page turner, a book you'll want to cook." (Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, NPR's Kitchen Sisters)
"Anyone interested in the story of heartland America's food history, the real history of a people from the field and garden, from farm and factory, from kitchen to table, this wonderful book is for you." (Bruce Kraig, Co-convener, Greater Milwaukee Foodways Alliance)
"A bright new edition. . . . And who better to accomplish the task than Terese Allen, certainly the state's foremost food historian, keeper of our culinary heritage." (Jerry Minnich, author of "Eating Well in Wisconsin")"Besides superbly chronicling the recent changes in Wisconsin's foodways, Allen has strengthened the text's culinary history throughout and at the same time revamped the book's format.Some of the original as well as new text is presented in sidebars, and subheadings have been added, which provide both a fresh look and a much more readable book.This incredible compilation ought to be in every home, library, and classroom in the state, and in the hands of culinary historians and other foodies everywhere. What would Harva Hachten think about the new edition? I'm betting she'd be proud as punch" (Joan Peterson, "Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture")
"Allen's latest update [to "The Flavor of Wisconsin"] is likely to cause swooning and shortness of breath in Madison's very active foodie community, as its additions primarily focus on sexy hot-button topics like the popularity of farmers' markets, organic farming and sustainability, and the slow-food movement." (Jason Albert, "The Onion's A.V. Club Madison")"
