This includes hints and information on individual fruits, ingredients and tips for best fruits to use for a dish with farm fresh ingredients and old fashioned baking techniques in the instructions. Good Resource! ( ) I would give this cookbook a 3.5 rating. Not because there is anything really wrong with the recipes, but because it is not an overly practical book. Most of the recipes use fruits specific to the Northwestern US that are hard to find elsewhere. (Really, how much rhubarb do you think we grow in the South?) This is especially difficult for those of us who are trying to support local farmers by buying locally and seasonally. The two recipes I've tried were good, but nothing special. The marketing campaign for this book should have been targeted to the appropriate area. This cookbook is right up my alley since I love old fashioned things and I love fruit desserts. It's organized by season, so you can go right to the season you're in and see recipes all made with fruits available at that time. The author also goes into detail about what to look for in a certain fruit, and which types of each fruit are best for certain applications.
Rustic Fruit Desserts is a seasonal mini-bible that goes beyond basics. Distinctions
