Who does not like blueberries? If you will find them all over in this book. From easy to hard recipes and information and every meal in the book is worth to try. I love the fact that this book is available in kindle format!
Blueberry Love is a beautifully presented collection of recipes developed and collected by Cynthia Graubart.Due out 27th April 2021 from Storey, it's 104 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.
I really love blueberries. Second to strawberries, they're my favorite fruit (sorry). I love them in everything, and honestly there are some dishes which they give a star turn, such as blueberry muffins, cheesecakes, and in smoothies. I am also a keen gardener and the last few years have seen me expanding my blueberry bushes by propagating my bushes and getting starts from my gardening friends. That means the months between the middle of August to October are full of wonderful tart sweet healthy blueberries around here. Normally I make a lot of jam, but this cookbook came at exactly the perfect time for me.
An introduction contains lots of logical tips for handling and cooking with blueberries as well as kitchen notes and some comments on ingredients and pantry choices for best results. The recipes themselves are arranged roughly thematically in chapters: Breakfast, Salads & Sides, Lunch & Dinner, and Dessert.
The recipes have an introduction header and description with ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Ingredient measures are given in US standard only followed by step by step directions. Required ingredients are easily sourced and will be available at any well stocked grocery store.There are a few gluten free and many vegetarian friendly recipes included.
The photography and food styling are exceptionally well done and attractive. I found myself flipping through the recipes and having trouble deciding what I wanted to try first - they all look really good. In the end, we tried the sautéed pork tenderloin with blueberry balsamic mustard glaze and the instant pot blueberry swirl cheesecake (love my intant pot. and cheesecake. and blueberries). Both recipes were easy to follow and gave extremely good results. The balsamic glaze was -amazing- and I've tried it since then with huge success on chicken fillets. I fully intend to use it on a roast chicken and possibly on the Thanksgiving turkey. I'm not joking about the glaze - it's the best marinade/glaze I've ever done ... the author is definitely onto something here.
Five stars. This is a must have for gardeners (or readers with a pick-your-own farm or wild blueberries within driving distance) who are looking for ways to use up those glorious delicious little blue globes.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
I love blueberries and this book is a pure gift! The desserts look all amazing, but there are new recipes including chicken, pork, pizza and drinks that I could not have dreamt of. The photos look amazing and the recipes are easy to follow. Would definitely recommend if you love blueberries.
I wanted to look at this book because we have blueberry bushes and are always looking for new recipes to try. This book has mostly sweet recipes. There are a few that I would like to try.
This is a fabulous and fresh cookbook! I absolutely love that this cookbook offers an array of recipes from sweet to savory. It is loaded with recipes from breakfast all the way through to an afternoon drink! Not only do the recipes in this cookbook sound delicious the photographs will have you drooling!
I recieved a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Blueberry Love.
I love LOVE LOVE blueberries so I was thrilled when my request was approved.
This is a great book on all recipes revolving around blueberries and I loved it!
The author offers interesting information on the blueberry, its status as a nutritional powerhouse and the different kinds of blueberries, but the best part were the recipes.
There's a little bit of everything; plenty of sweets and cakes (I love carbs!), but also a recipe I've never heard of before (blueberry shrub?!) but also sweet with savory.
Recipes are easy to follow and ingredients easy to find as well, perhaps not like it used to be during our pandemic times so stock up on flour and sugar.
Photographs came through pretty well on my Kindle and looked as delicious as I imagine them to be.
