In Cynthia Finnemore Simonds previous books, she established a reputation for creating original recipes using local ingredients. Now she turns her attention to desserts built on regional foods. Look for recipes that include blueberries and other fruits, as well as squash, rhubarb, maple syrup, and items produced in Maine wineries and distilleries. Recipes featuring molasses, citrus, rum, chocolate, and other imported goodies recall Maine's seafaring days, when ships carried products from around the world.
