Overview
Lee Bailey's acquaintance with berries has blossomed into a flavorful friendship over the years. From the season's first strawberries of Pontchatula, Louisiana, in days gone by, to the abundant yield of his own raspberry patch on Long Island, he has indulged in the delightful and diverse tastes of these vine-ripened morsels. Berries is Bailey's ode to strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries and more. Beginning with classic shortcake -- topped with traditional strawberries and whipped cream or smothered with mixed berries and warm cream -- Lee delves into recipes for a personal-favorite blackberry cobbler, a sumptuous cross between a cake and a crumble called Blueberry Buckle, plus a deliciously messy strawberry cake.But the book is not just desserts! There are also suggestions for serving berries with meats and in salads, including berry dumplings to serve with stews and a blackberry sauce to spoon over poultry, and berry salsas, flavored vodkas, butters, and hot and cold souffles. There's even a soothing health face mask!
Lee Bailey's latest entry in his popular 'Choice Produce' series once again offers simple recipes for seasonally plentiful food that everyone loves to eat. From shortcakes to cobblers, berry dumplings to berry sauce for poultry, here are classic and inventive berry menus. Color photographs.
