Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

El Pariente Food Truck on White Bear Avenue


El Pariente Food Truck is Awesome!!

Linda'a late night 'duck in the oven' was going to be tonight's duck tacos. Wholesale soup and cookie orders changed that plan. 

 The El Pariente food truck on White Bear Avenue near Hillcrest Shopping Center beckoned.

Cheese Queadilla & Barbacoa Burrito

The cheese quesadilla and barbacoa burrito, enough for four, fed the two of us-leftovers plenty for tomorrow.  The cheese in their quesadilla is like eating stretchy butter...it pairs wonderfully with what Linda calls  "my buddy old smokey orange" followed by some bright, lively tomatillo salsa--where the citrusy tomatillo flavor shines through.

    We've been there four or five times. Generally it ha been good but depends a bit on who is working. The food truck has been more consistent but both are the best in the east metro!
