With fresh berries now available year round in grocery stores, and the ever-growing research that shows that berries are really, really good for you, the time is right--and ripe--for a definitive book on berries. Noted cookbook author and culinary historian Janie Hibler offers up a collection of recipes using the most readily available North American varieties.

From well-known varieties such as blueberries and strawberries to the lesser known artic bramble and tummelberry, The Berry Bible is the definitive book on the subject. Whether wild or cultivated, fresh or frozen, Janie Hibler shows how to use berries when cooking--and not just for dessert. The 200 recipes include breakfast smoothies, muffins and cereals; hot and cold soups; and grilled poultry, meat and game. Make chutney, oven-dry and freeze berries for keeping, or make berry-flavored liqueurs for gift-giving. Along with the recipes, Janie includes historical information; details on growing, harvesting, and preserving berries. An 8-page color insert includes photos that identify the berries featured.
