Summary

Dazzling stories and recipes from four generations of Detroit's renowned open-air farmers market. Since 1887, Detroit's Eastern Market, the largest open-air wholesale/retail market of its kind in the United States, has been home to an amazing community of farmers, merchants, and food lovers. Speciality shops, bakeries, spice companies, meat and poultry markets, restaurants, jazz cafes, old-time saloons, produce firms, gourmet shops, cold-storage warehouses, and much more cover the Eastern Market's three square miles. Its many streets and vendors reflect the varied cultures and ethnicities that have shaped the city of Detroit. Detroit's Eastern Market: A Farmers Market Shopping and Cooking Guide briefly recounts the history of the market, while focusing on the stories of families who have worked and shopped there for as many as four generations. The book lists the numerous shops and restaurants that line the Eastern Market's streets and features more than 80 pages of delightful recipes from market retailers, farmers, chefs, and customers.
