We're in the middle of strawberry season and have been using use juicy summer berries as much as we can! So what could be better for our next challenge than in these flaky, buttery scones? These treats are the perfect sweet for brunches, picnics or any time (and they're sooo easy to make).
For this challenge, the lucky winner with the best photo submission will receive three cookbooks! Vegetarian for a New Generation (featured in our August issue), by Liana Krissoff, Dirty Food by Carol Hiker and The Meat Hook Meat Book, by Tom Mylan.
