One of the interesting things that you notice while working in both the United States and Italy is that the availability of certain seasonal fruits and vegetables is much more limited (especially on the East Coast and in the Midwest) than it is in Italy.
Living in the Washington, DC area, I don’t always have the same fresh fruits in season as my Italian family and colleagues do. Thankfully the bounty of spring berries, however makes up for the gap. I love transforming strawberries into decadent and healthful desserts each May, in honor of National Strawberry Month in the US.
This recipe comes from my latest cookbook, co-written with Dr. Simon Poole, the Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies. Like my other books, it outlines how traditional Italian foods naturally represent the goodness of the Mediterranean Diet while being so pleasing to the palate, that no one even notices how good for you they truly are.
