Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

For our next issue of Albert Lea Magazine, we hope to shine a spotlight on the many different cultures that are represented in Albert Lea.

In the last 10 years, our city has become a melting pot, so to speak, with people coming here from many different backgrounds.

Some people have come here because of family or friends; others have come because of employment opportunities; others have come to start fresh in their lives.

Regardless, we have an awesome opportunity to learn more about those around us.

To showcase the different cultures in the community, we would like to highlight some of the authentic foods of those who live here in our next issue of the magazine.

If you or someone you know has any interest in making a dish, allowing us to photograph it and then sharing the recipe, please contact Managing Editor Sarah Stultz at sarah.stultz@albertleatribune.com or 507-379-3433 with your contact information.

While we definitely hope to highlight the food of some of our newer members of our community, we would also like to highlight some food of those who have been here a while, too.

Let us know if you’d like to get involved.
