Two new cookbooks from Maine summer resident Cynthia Graubart focus on two of the state’s favorite summer fruits: strawberries and blueberries. On its own, either “Strawberry Love” or “Blueberry Love” would make a nice hostess gift for any berry-loving, cooking-loving friends, though don’t give them away as a set, as some of the recipes – Rich Blueberry Ripple Ice Cream and Rich Strawberry Ice Cream, or Blueberry Coffee Cake and Strawberry Crumb Cake – are repeats with a berry swap (which is not to say I wouldn’t lick the bowl or hoover up every crumb).
