Strawberries: A Love Affair

According to folklore, if two people cut and share a strawberry, they will fall in love. The strawberry was known to be the fruit of love and fertility long before the idea of Valentine’s Day was conceived. Either way, I will admit, I love strawberries. When in season, and the season is now, this bust and beautiful red berry is sweet, firm, and tender all at once. Wild strawberries are aromatic in nose and in flavor and cultivated, organic strawberries are juicy, luscious, and delightfully sugared.
