I love blueberries, and this book of blueberry recipes offers more reasons to love this super fruit! I enjoyed the jams and sauces to season different cuts of meat and enhance the flavors. There's also drinks to try. Beautiful photos with much detail. This book does have a lot of recipes using flour and sugar, so be cautious of that if you avoid flour and sugar. Otherwise, a recommended book to enhance a love for blueberries.

5 stars!

This cookbook is awesome! I love the beginning and information about blueberries and using them to cook in different variations. It was very helpful being a blueberry fan. And let me tell you, this blueberry cookbook has a little something for everyone that loves blueberries. It covers desserts, drinks & meals. I’m really excited to start with the cobbler or Bundt cake and when summer comes I may even try the vodka!

I love blueberries so having this book was absolutely mandatory for me! I already tried 5 recipes and cannot wait to try the rest of them! Truly mouthwatering pictures! Also the book contains a brief history and information about different species of blueberries and the best way to store them.

It is a good book for those who love blueberries or berries in general. Typical recipe setup. Almost fifty recipes to try - basic breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Well named, this recipe book, with mouth watering recipes and beautiful photography will have you running for the kitchen to make some of these delectable recipes! The recipe content is varied with a good selection of sweet and savory delights. The only downside is it came to an end all too soon!

I love blueberries - I love eating them plain, but most of all I love cooking with blueberries. They're sweet and delicious and make the best pastries, breads, jams, scones, etc. This cookbook provides a new twist on the classic blueberry recipes we know and love, but also provides some very interesting-sounding savory recipes as well - recipes for glazes to go on a variety of meats, recipes for salads, even some for soups! And the drinks - mmmm, smoothies and cocktails galore! If you like blueberries even a little bit, you will find something to love in this cookbook. Because blueberries deserve all the love.

I was given the opportunity to read two of Cynthia's beautiful books in exchange for an honest review. But I fully intend to buy the physical copies myself. Thank you #NetGalley #bleberrylove for the opportunity.

This cookbook genuinely does reunite my love for blueberries. This woman seems to have a real knack for fruit based recipes. She has another book by the name of Strawberry Love and I cannot wait to own both of them.

I look forward so much to making the "blueberry boy bait" and seeing if it actually finds me a husband. 😂 I'll be sure to update my review and let you all know.

Cynthia Graces these pages with beautiful photographs and recipes from classics (buttermilk blueberry pancakes, blueberry pecan bread, turkey and cheese sandwich with blue berry onion jam)
to creative (blueberry lavender lemonade, blueberry butter, blueberry and red onion salsa, instant pot blueberry swirl cheesecake), ranging from breakfast to dinner and everything in between.If you're looking for a way to get some more antioxidants in your diet, this is the way to go!

I've only tried one recipe as of now and will update my review as I continue!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.
This cookbook was nicely formatted, although I would have enjoyed seeing more pictures of the final result in the book. Other than that, I liked the diversity of the recipes, and they came out deliciously. I loved reading this cookbook, and I recommend it to anyone who loves blueberries.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Blueberry love is a mouthwatering cookery book for anyone who loves blueberries. Some of the recipes in this book sound heavenly and the photographs are so mouthwatering!
I love the innovative style and ideas used in this book and never thought to put blueberries into so many different dishes and with so many different foods!
There are 3 recipes I've screenshot (as my copy is a pdf version) to try over the festive period coming up and I can't wait to try them.
I loved the tips included in this book too!
A great addition for any bookshelf.

Excellent book full of recipes for blueberries. Easy to follow recipes for the beginner and experienced cook. Thank you Netgalley for the download.

A surprisingly versatile cook and baking book with even some savoury dishes includes. Unfortunately, none of those were vegan or seem veganizable. Sitll, I enjoyed the wide range of cakes and other bakes within their inspiring range and variety! Beautiful, delicious appearing pictures, easy instructions and a useful introduction with some interesting information about blueberries themselves and tips for the baking process. This might be a wonderful gift for a sweet tooth with a lucky hand for baking!

A wonderful collection of recipes! There are some tried and true prize winners included, and other innovative uses of blueberries. An interesting brief history and origin of this versatile fruit, plus ways to preserve it, begins the book. I was hungry just looking at the pictures and reading all of the recipes. My family enjoyed the Ginger Blueberry Jumbo muffins. The pancake recipe is delicious too.
A classic cookbook to add to any kitchen!

If like me you love blueberries then this a great book full of tips and recipes for them. The recipes are easy to follow and include ingredients which most of us would already have in the kitchen.

A great addition to my cookbook collection.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an unbiased review.

I really enjoyed this deep dive into blueberry recipes. I found a number of items that I will definitely make and some that made me curious as to what it would taste like. There were pictures of each item which is always nice - sometimes one-ingredient cookbooks are light on pictures. A cookbook I would consider purchasing as a reference.

Strawberry Love is a beautifully written book with mouth watering pictures and easy to follow recipes! The pictures are stunning and really motivates you to try the recipe right there and now! It's really cool seeing blueberry jam also being used in creative ways. Thank you so much Netgalley and Storey Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Blueberries are one of the very small handful of fruits I can eat, so I was eager to read this, even knowing I wouldn't be able to make most of the recipes because of other food conflicts.

The recipes look easy for even beginning bakers, and the steps were clear. Full-color photos helped. Some of the recipes were a little atypical or odd but interesting. There were two or three that I wrote down, which I think I can adapt for my limitations.

There were some problems with formatting (paragraphs in the wrong place, ingredients-instructions out of order) but hopefully that was just a file program with the ARC. Assuming those problems are fixed, this is an optional purchase for libraries.

Ah! All things blueberry. This delicious little fruit bursting with flavor gets all the attention it deserves. Helpful descriptions of different varieties and some great storing and cooking tips. The recipes are mouthwatering with vivid pictures included. The combination of sweet and savory has me excited to try out so many new dishes. There are even homemade beverages that are simple to make but full of flavor. I am super excited about this new addition to my kitchen booklist. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own, freely given.

I just LOVE this "Blueberry Love" cookbook! Typically, when reviewing a new cookbook, I might find a handful of recipes I might like to try. But honestly, I want to try nearly every recipe in this book. I think that's partly because nearly every recipe is accompanied by a mouth-watering photo of the dish. But also, it's because I love blueberries and grow them. Just a sampling of the variety of recipes: Wild Blueberry Horseradish Bleu Cheese Spread, Salmon with Blueberry Onion Jam Glaze, Sauteed Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry Balsamic Mustard Glaze, and Blueberry-Lemon-Basil Granita. This, in addition to more traditional recipes for cobbler, coffee cake, and pies! I'm definitely going to buy this book!
