In Celebration of the Strawberry.

My birthday falls right at the beginning of strawberry season. I have very fond memories of the first punnets arriving, my Granny and Mum carefully preparing them and then stuffing myself silly with them for the whole day. Strawberries meant Summer to me and the fact that they coincided with my birthday made them even more special.

We also used to go strawberry picking quite regularly at one of the many pick your own farms close to our home. I always ate more than I picked but we would still return home laden with fruit.

Because of all the fond memories that strawberries bring, and because, to this day they are still one of my favorite foods, I am going to dedicate this blog for the month of June to the celebration of the strawberry.

So watch this space for recipes, product reviews and anything else interesting that I can find about my favorite berry.
