This community cooks!

Park Point, the natural sandbar protecting this Port's harbor, is home to a lively community that is connected to Duluth by our famed Aerial Lift Bridge. As part of the bridge's centennial celebration last season, Park Point residents put together a book, Get Bridged: A Collaboration of Recipes from the Park Point Community, Duluth, MN.

Getting "bridged" refers to the delays that cars, trucks (and ambulances!) and pedestrians encounter while vessels enter or exit the harbor. The cookbook reflects life on the point, including such treats as:

Park Point Rhubarb Strawberry Dessert

Nana Slattery's Irish Potato Soup

Backyard Boat Bar Margaritas

Clean Out the Fridge Root Vegetable Soup

Park Point Rabbit Stew (having to do with the Point's plentiful bunny population).

Capt. Tom Mackay, photographer, lifelong resident of the Point and senior captain for Duluth's Vista Fleet, provided the nautical pictures that are sprinkled throughout the book. Copies of the cookbook are available from:
