An Adventure in indigo, summer sapphires, dewy downy bunches of black and blue –what else but BLUEBERRIES! And what goes best with blueberries? Memories! Memories of berry pickin’ time and the delectable delights that follow –pies, jams, jellies, cakes, cookies, puddings, drinks, salads, and, of course, blueberry muffins. The Blueberry Connection has them all. And tucked between the hand-lettered recipes are bits of fact, fluff, and folklore –absolutely anything that you can imagine about blueberries. Over 200 recipes! A Companion volume to The Blueberry Connection is The Cranberry Connection, another bog adventure which, says the Washington D.C. Star, “includes recipes for such gourmet delights as cranberry shrimp dip, cranberry ham glaze, cranberry mincemeat, and four-fruit chutney.” The Register of Des Moines, Iowa, calls it “a treasure,” and Canadian Living says, “it’s more than a cookbook, it also celebrates [Beatrice Ross Buszek’s Rediscovery of her Maritime roots.”

Beatrice Ross Buszek lived many places before she returned to Nova Scotia, the land of her childhood. In her popular Connection series, Cranberry, Blueberry, Apple, Strawberry, and Maple Sugar, Buszek shares recipes, facts, and folklore compiled at her beloved Cranberry Cottage near Annapolis Royal in the Annapolis Valley.
