Named a Best Cookbook of Spring 2023 by Eater Food & Wine and more and a Best Cookbook of
the Year by Epicurious Vice Library Journal and more . First vegetables then grains
and now fruit. This is the beautiful follow-up to Abra Berens' s Ruffage and Grist with
more than 215 recipes and variations for using fruit in sweet and savory recipes to highlight
seasonality and flavor. Pulp is a hardworking book of recipes that focuses on all the ways
fruit can enhance simple delicious mains—for example by elevating roasted vegetables
garnishing soup or adding perfume to a roasted pork or brisket. Unlike Ruffage and Grist
Pulp is about regularly incorporating fruit to add variety and seasonality to main dishes.
Home cooks and bakers alike will rejoice in the alternately sweet and savory recipes such as
Roast Chicken over Blueberries Cornbread + Lemon Melon Cucumber + Chickpea Salad and
Rum-Plum Clafoutis. The book also features helpful reference material a Baker' s Toolkit
and more than 100 atmospheric photos delivered with the can-do attitude and accessibility of
the Midwestern United States. This next generous offering from beloved trusted author Abra
Berens is a necessary addition to any kitchen shelf alongside its predecessors and other
mainstays like Plenty Six Seasons and Small Victories . THIS IS THE A TO Z OF FRUIT: The

Tart Round Fruits (cranberries currants gooseberries lingonberries + autumn olive). Pulp
