Strawberry Love: 45 Sweet and Savory Recipes for Shortcakes, Hand Pies, Salads, Salsas, and More

If you love juicy, ripe strawberries, then the Strawberry Love cookbook is for you! The book includes forty-five recipes all centered on strawberries. From sweet to savory, this cookbook really has some excellent ideas. I love how the author gives tips in the beginning for cooking with strawberries. She tells the reader a few different methods of hulling as well as how to freeze fresh strawberries. The simple format of the cookbook makes it easy to understand and use for even the beginner baker or chef. The beautiful color photographs that accompany each recipe made my mouth water as I decided which recipes to try first.

The three recipes that I am going to give a try first are the Strawberry Crumb Cake, the Pork Chops with Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce, and the Strawberry, Burrata, and Arugula Salad. Of course, I’ll have to go back and pick out some of the refreshing drinks to try this summer. The Strawberry Shrub made with cider vinegar and Smoked Strawberry Smash, which has ginger and basil in it, both sound exquisite. Perfect for a family barbecue! Strawberry lovers will have great fun trying out the recipes in this book.
