There are few fruits that please as many people as strawberries. The ultimate ‘gourmandise’ , sweet treat, this beautiful bright red fruit adapts itself to jam, compote, fruit tart, meringues and cream or simply sprinkled with a little sugar.
My favourite way to eat a strawberry is directly from the potager. Still warm from the summer sunshine, picked from its tender stalk and enjoyed on the spot
Here in France, we love to eat fruit and vegetables only when they are naturally in season. This used to make for a short strawberry season, but with many new varieties today, we enjoy the delicious red fruit from March through to August. And in my potager that is also true. By planting several different varieties of strawberries, I can pick them through the spring and summer.
