      INTRODUCTION

      This cookbook takes a nostalgic look at Detroit's most iconic dishes. It's people and local agriculture set the foundation from which these foods emerged. With popular dishes that range from baklava to pierogi, the influence of its first residents is undeniable. But as any city evolves, so does its cuisine. Most ingredients are globally available and today recipes are developed without geographic limitations. This well-timed collection captures significant moments in food history and the cities most remarkable dishes to date.

      THE NEIGHBORHOODS

      By 1925, nearly half of Detroit's population was born outside of the United States.[1] Many spoke the universal language of food to make their new surroundings work. Some shared the meals of their homeland, often altering recipes to suite local tastes, or because traditional ingredients were unavailable. Others put their own spin on classic dishes or created new ones. Each chapter tells the story of one neighborhood. And while some communities still thrive, others can only live on through stories...and their most celebrated dishes.

      THE RECIPES

      Recipes range from popular international dishes to genuine Detroit originals. They're simplified when possible so that cooks at any skill level can enjoy this book. Each recipe attempts to capture the specific essence of a dish, but feel free to modify any recipe to suit your tastes and dietary preferences.

      THE INGREDIENTS

      Michigan is abundant with livestock and agriculture. With more than eleven-thousand inland lakes (not to mention thirty six thousand miles of rivers and streams), the state is teaming with freshwater fish too. The following section illustrates a range of ingredients that are typical of the region. They are either Michigan-produced on a large scale or imported due to high-demand

      THE FUTURE

      Detroit was built on innovation. For self-starters with open-minds and a do-it-yourself mindset, even today the area offers endless opportunity. Its emerging food scene of artisan cheese makers, bakers, chefs, barbecue pit masters, and craft brewers, illustrates the true spirit of the city.

      **Great Lakes Wild Rice

      Wild Rice is important to many tribal communities and is part of an ancient prophesy that brought the Ojibwa, Pottawatomi, and Odawa people to the region. The rice, called Manoomin in the Ojibwe culture, grows on water and is still hand-harvested by canoe. At one time, vast rice beds grew along the shorelines and streams. But invasive plants and human impact have caused a serious decline in growth. The threatened species is tremendously important to the biodiversity of Michigan's waters.[2]

      Chapter 1

      LITTLE ITALY

      Italians have contributed to the growth of Detroit for nearly three-hundred fifty years. It began with the arrival of Alphonso Tonti. He was second-in-command to the French explorer Antoine Cadillac. Together they founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit in 1701. With the arrival of their wives, they became the first European families to reside in the new territory.

      Since the French and English discouraged immigration, the Italian population grew slowly. But after 1855, a steady migration began.[1] Then within the forty years spanning 1880 to 1920, several thousand Italians arrived from Sicily, Lombardy, and Genoa.

      Some passed through on their way to work in the Upper Peninsula's mines. But many were there to stay. And though the Italian community no longer has a cultural center, like Mexicantown, there was once a Little Italy near Eastern Market.[2]

      The original Farmer's Market opened downtown in 1841. Soon additional markets were built, including Eastern Market, which mainly sold hay and wood. But with the construction of sales sheds in 1891, it became a farmers market that sold produce and other goods.

      Shortly before the expansion, Detroit's oldest Italian restaurant began to serve hot meals steps away from the market. The Marazza family offered room and board to vendors from out of town. Mrs. Marazza's reputation as a fine cook spread quickly. And with the encouragement of her patrons, she opened the Roma Café in 1890.[3]

      Throughout the twentieth century, the manufacturing industry expanded and the Italian population grew. By 1925, there were forty-two thousand Italians in the city. Aside from their contributions to the automotive work force, many worked with stone, cement, and tile. Others were entrepreneurs who opened shops and restaurants.

      They didn't stay contained in a Little Italy. They integrated into the diverse communities of southeast Michigan. Many of the Italians who initially settled near Eastern Market, went on to live in the northeastern suburbs, especially Macomb County. It is there that a myriad of Italian bakeries, groceries, and other businesses still thrive, despite competition from large supermarket chains. There are currently three hundred thousand Italian Americans in Metropolitan Detroit.

      MINESTRONE SOUP

      Several Italian restaurants in southeast Michigan claim that minestrone soup is their specialty. Elegant, yet underappreciated, minestrone celebrates the freshest produce of the season. This recipe was inspired by a local variation, which at one time could be enjoyed downtown on Woodward Avenue.

      Aromatics:

      2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

      1 onion, diced

      2 stalks celery, diced
