The small low-bush wild blueberry native to Maine and the Maritimes is an honest American fruit, a true "local food." Along with cranberries and Concord grapes, blueberries were growing on North American soil and sustaining the native cultures long before Europeans crossed the Atlantic. With fifty recipes, The Wild Blueberry Cookbook is a celebration of the flavor and versatility of the blueberry. The recipes are traditional, but also reflect today's vibrant and imaginative cooking style. Emphasizing the fruit's Maine roots and its standing as a "superfood," this cookbook profiles the industry and is peppered with fun features and healthful facts. Recipes range from muffins to tasty entrees to desserts, cocktails, and preserves.
