A Taste of Cranberries…and some tales, too
Not so long ago, cranberries were only served at Thanksgiving and Christmas but we can now experience this beautiful and delicious berry year round. The over eighty recipes in P. Ann Pieroway's latest cookbook feature cranberries in fresh, frozen, dried and canned form. Joanna Weeks of South Coast Times says, "the book… shines in its imaginative entrees, salads and vegetable dishes. Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic-Cranberry Sauce, Maple Cranberry Chicken Breasts, and Turkey and Cranberry Panini sound particularly tempting. Morsels of cranberry lore are interspersed throughout the book."

Taste and Tales of Massachusetts
A cookbook full of 200 delicious recipes and 150 delightful tales about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, written and edited by P. Ann Pieroway with cover painting and illustrations by Massachusetts artist, Louise Minks.
"Writing this cookbook brings together two of my favorite hobbies — cooking and history. Massachusetts is the home of baked beans, Boston cream pie and cranberries, but before that, there were the Native Americans and early English Puritan settlers known to us as Pilgrims. One of America’s most cherished holidays is Thanksgiving, which has been attributed to a feast that occurred in Massachusetts in 1621.
From Boston to the Berkshires, to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, come a myriad of taste and three centuries of history. These marvelous foods are a result of the many nationalities, past and present, that call Massachusetts home. These include the English, Irish, Portuguese, Italians, Polish, French, Africans, Russians, Jewish and other Eastern Europeans, and in more recent years, Hispanics, Asians and Arabs. These many cultures are responsible for the variety of foods that are found across the Commonwealth.
I hope you enjoy the Taste and Tales of Massachusetts as much as I have taken pleasure in writing it."
— P. Ann Pieroway
