Bigger than a blueberry, the Saskatoon berry has many other benefits that outshine the more commonly known blueberry. For instance, it’s high in vitamins and fibre and, of interesting note, it contains 11 percent of the daily intake required of calcium. The First Nations knew the merits of Saskatoon berries all too well. The First Nations consumed Saskatoon berries, a native fruit of North America, for both their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Other interesting facts compare this berry to the popular blueberry. Saskatoon berries have twice the amount of fiber, potassium and iron than blueberries and four times the amount of magnesium. A very healthy berry indeed. So, how does one use it? Eat them freshly picked, or use them in concoctions and cooking or baking favorites as one would use blueberries.

Or, better yet, follow some of Vickianne Caswell’s recipes in her recent cookbook, The Ultimate Saskatoon Berry Cookbook. As always, this astute author presents a wide range of possibilities in her cookbook, complete with detailed, easy to follow instructions. Her recipes are clearly organized in sections, beginning with Saskatoon berry drinks and continuing with a wide selection of savory and sweet dishes that all include this nutritious and healthy berry. There are recipes for wines and other alcoholic drinks, breads, muffins, brownies, cakes, candies, cookies, ice creams, sorbets, jams and so much more. Each recipe has an enticing title, like Polka-Dot Angel Cupcakes and Saskatoon Berry Lollipops. Or how about Chocolate Covered Saskatoon Berries or Saskatoon Macaroons? This book is a treasure for any cookbook fan or cooking enthusiast.

​A book inspired by the delicious little fruit that grows in Bruno, Saskatchewan. Bake a cake, make some soup, or if you are feeling a little saucy, add some cherry ketchup or barbecue sauce to your cherry burger. This book contains 133 recipes that contain cherries for those who love this little fruit., "The Ultimate Cherry Cookbook" contains new and old; some heard of and some that will surprise you.

Reviewed By Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite
Cherries. They really are very good for you. Sweet, sour, even the most popular maraschino cherries. Why? Cherries are full of good nutrients: Vitamin A and C, Manganese, Potassium, Copper and Vitamin K (a not-so-well known vitamin, but it should be as it helps deal with blood clots). The Vitamin K component makes cherries useful in reducing the risk of stroke. Cherries are also good to reduce belly fat and help one sleep, and much more. So enough technical data. How can we preserve cherries, use them in our everyday diet, bake and cook with them? Well, actually, let the imagination run wild, because cherries go with just about anything and can be used in both sweet foods and savory dishes.

Vickianne Caswell has the cherry book for everyone: The Ultimate Cherry Cookbook. It’s full of useful tips and information about cherries as well as, most important, lots of cherry recipes. There are the alcoholic cherry drinks and the non-alcoholic ones; brownies, cookies, cakes and more; pies and compotes; and glazes for meat, pork, and poultry. And then there’s breakfast breads, muffins and cereals; and, for the really sweet tooth, candies, ice creams and sorbets. Oh yes, and there are soups, too. Each section of this book is well laid out. The ingredients for each recipe are easy to obtain and the recipe itself is easy to follow. Some of the recipes have nutritional guidelines, including calorie counts. This book is definitely the ‘ultimate’ in fine cherry cuisine. And the list of possibilities is endless.

Congratulations to our author Mila Cassandre who won a 5 star Reader's Favorite Award yesterday!
Reviewed by Jessyca Garcia for Readers' Favorite
Behind Closed Doors by Mila Cassandre was a depressing but good story. Cassandre tells her story about growing up in a world where everyone is against her, including herself. It is not until later in her life that she was able to find happiness. This book is not for everyone! Mila Cassandre has led a very troubled life. Born to a mother that always put herself first before her kids’ safety, Cassandre was constantly sexually abused by the many men in her mother’s life. Because of this, Cassandre fell into drugs and alcohol at an early age. In Behind Closed Doors, Cassandre bares her soul and tells the reader her experiences about being raped, living in foster care, and becoming a teenage prostitute. Cassandre’s life has been filled with disappointing people and dangerous situations. 

At times during her story, I felt that Cassandre was a danger to herself. She was constantly picking the worst people to have a relationship with. Cassandre’s story did, however, make me see why she did what she did. This has helped me to better understand some people in my own life that are very similar to Cassandre. Somehow Cassandre managed to turn her life around and find the happiness that she longed for her whole life. I can see Cassandre’s story helping a lot of people. For that I am recommending it to people who need to know that overcoming your addictions is possible. It may not be an easy read, but it is worth it!

Congratulations to Katherine E. Tapley-Milton on your 5 Star Review win for "The Disappearing Mailboxes of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia"!

10/19/2016

Reviewed By Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite

The people of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are well known for their bright colors. They paint their houses in bright colors, and their doors and window frames stand out with bright colors. These Atlantic Canadians are also revered for their folk art. A leisurely drive through the countryside in either of these provinces reveals a wide range of marvellous folk art structures, not the least of which are their fascinating mailboxes. There are lighthouse mailboxes, doghouse mailboxes, and those that mimic the main house behind. There are mailboxes that demonstrate the art of recycling, using old barrels, even empty propane tanks, painted and added to the artistic effect. There are the more creative mailboxes that depict birds or wildlife, or even a dog climbing into the mailbox. Unique, original and very colorful. But is this creativity doomed: a blight on our ever-changing landscape that is now dominated by alternative means of communication? 

Katherine E. Tapley-Milton’s coffee table picture book, The Disappearing Mailboxes of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (A Tour of Mailboxes), takes the reader on a journey through two of Canada’s Atlantic provinces, with colorful images of folk art mailboxes. With interesting trivia and historical information on these two provinces, interspersed with marvellous photographs of the mailboxes, the book is something to treasure and enjoy over and over again. The author poses the question of these delightful, but probably doomed works of art, challenging the reader to ponder the ever declining service of door-to-door mail delivery. The book further compliments the artistry of a people not afraid to stand out as unique, colorful, and creative.
