"Berries are edible jewels, distillations of sunlight, soil, and floral perfumes. Some offer ambrosial sweetness; others are as assertive as herbs and spices. Yet many of us rarely encounter berries outside of a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich or raspberry-scented seltzer. Berries reintroduces us to these delightful fruits, including neglected varieties that have nearly disappeared from the American diet and garden. Roger Yepsen offers advice on finding wild berries, growing your own, and preserving them for year-round enjoyment. Sixty delicate watercolors depict berries from black currants and wild strawberries to the exotic salmonberry and Achilles Red gooseberry. And while it's hard to improve on the fresh item, Berries includes almost a hundred recip0es: blueberry buckle, raspberry soup, elderberry wine, and black currant crepes. This elegant guidebook will inspire cooks, gardeners, foragers -- and anyone with a sweet tooth -- to get more involved with the wonderful world of berries."

Anyone who knows me at all well knows I'm mad about blackberries, so this book in my library is no surprise. A very charming, comprehensive treatment of berries. Did you know there are white currants? I certainly didn't! And there's a recipe for fool, although not the form of fool served at Sardine Lake Lodge, which makes delightful gooseberry fool.

If you like berries at all, you'll treasure and enjoy this book.
