Very Blueberry by Jennifer Trainer Thompson

Very Blueberry by Jennifer Trainer Thompson

Groundbreaking studies show that blueberries contain disease-fighting compounds not found in any other food. The high amounts of antioxidants found in them are believed to have powerful anti-memory-loss and cancer-preventing properties. And, despite their natural sweetness, blueberries are remarkably low in the carbohydrates and sugar calories overabundant in other fruit.

Very Blueberry goes beyond the blueberry muffin (though it does include a sub-lime recipe for it ) and features this essential fruit in innovative new recipes like Goat Cheese Tart with Caramelized Onions and Blueberries; Arugula, Prosciutto, and Blueberry Salad with Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette; Pork Tenderloin with Peach-Blueberry Chutney; and Blueberry Salsa. With this charming, little cookbook, incorporating the recommended half a cup of blueberries into your daily diet will always be a sweet delight.

- Features more than 40 blueberry recipes for breakfasts, soups, salads, entr es, jams, and gifts.

- The blueberry is number one in antioxidant activity of all fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants prevent health problems like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, diabetes, circulation problems, and urinary tract infections.

She and her young family live in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where they are creating their own family customs. THE AUTHOR SCOOP Have you have anything in the back of your fridge that's been there for over a year? It was created by a former Navy Sea Dog who now owns and operates a pub in the Adirondacks that is only accessible by snowmobile in the winter. You earn your name on his Wall of Flame next to his live tarantula if you can eat a dozen chicken wings marinated in this explosive sauce.

Are you six degrees of separation from someone famous? (I haven't been successful.) My children find it fascinating, and a Boston radio station reportedly announced that Harry Potter was still alive and well in the Bay State. He had Harry Potter stickers produced last year and leaves them all over the place - on the examining table at the doctor's office, on the underside of the toilet seat in my kids' bathroom, and so on. What was the title of your first job?

The night before I was supposed to start my employment, I received word that the king had been deposed and that the job had been canceled. I already had my car packed, so I drove down to New York, found an apartment in the East Village, and got a job at Simon & Schuster as a lowly editor's assistant. After six months, I was dismissed, and my employer advised me to start writing instead - the best advice I've ever received, and I signed my first book contract a few months later.Where were you when you found out your first book will be published? When I got a call from Carol Houck Smith at W.W., it was quite cold in the flat, and I was all bundled up; I remember wearing gloves and making myself tea.
