Findlay Market Cookbook: Recipes & Stories from Cincinnati's Historic Public Market

Charles Dickens' description of Cincinnati as "cheerful, thriving, and animated" could just as easily characterize Findlay Market, a cherished local institution since 1852. As Ohio's oldest, continuously-operated public market, Findlay has managed to survive and revive through changing times - social and economic transition - with a rebellious spirit that reflects the city's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Today's market is an extraordinary confluence of butchers, bakers, ice cream makers, fishmongers, cheese merchants, grocers, culinarians, local farmers and growers. The Findlay Market Cookbook celebrates the food, the people, the eccentricity and enduring legacy of Findlay Market. Readers will be able to re-create many of the stand-in-line offerings and farmstead-inspired dishes that showcase the bounty and enterprise of Cincinnati and Ohio Valley. In addition, forward-looking local chefs and food professionals with a reverence for the Market transform seasonal offerings into home kitchen-friendly dishes. With vivid photographs that bring the Market to life, introducing personalities behind the stall counters and under the farm shed, the Findlay Market Cookbook is a timeless treasure.
