Strawberry season is much too short. There was only one vendor that had strawberries left at the farmer's market today. I got enough for the pie and possibly ice cream, but might just eat them and make blueberry ice cream instead. That's the joy of Simply in Season; it often provides variations so you can use what is . . . in season.
Yes, I’ll be on a strawberry kick for awhile. Simply in Season has a few strawberry recipes left, so I’ll be making regular stops at the neighborhood strawberry stand for sure. Michigan strawberries have so much flavor compared to the California ones that I’m sure are picked green or something because they are trucked from …
I'm not sure why, but a couple of the cakes in Simply in Season don't have recipes for frosting. Does that mean they don't have frosting? What is a cake without frosting? Since I had apricots and prunes left over from making the Pork Apricot Skillet and Marrakesh Lamb Stew, I thought I'd give the Bulgarian Yogurt Cake a try. I made it for Sunday dinner at my parents, and brought along some powdered sugar just in case it needed frosting after all.
This took about a quart of strawberries, so between this and the strawberry salad, plus several that I used for quality control (you MUST taste your produce to make sure it's good, after all) I used up the two quarts from the Farmer's Market. Now I need to find some more!
So, I had this rhubarb leftover from my cousin’s yard. I had made all the recipes calling for rhubarb from Simply in Season . What to do? While flipping through said cookbook, I came across the recipe for Shortcake or Scones. Hmmm. I had heard of strawberry shortcake. Why not rhubarb shortcake?
