Strawberries

Planning a party? Shake up this martini recipe and watch things get popping!

We use a double dose of strawberries in this impressive dessert. Freeze-dried berries give the meringue its blush-pink hue, while fresh berries add aromatic sweetness. Every batch of fresh strawberries is different so adjust the amounts of sugar and lemon juice as needed in Step 5.

This casual cake makes a perfectly acceptable breakfast, too.

Start with a package of frozen puff pastry and we guarantee you'll have flaky party tarts, even if you've never tackled a pie before.

This weekend, don your shades, rub on some sunscreen and fire up the barbecue.
