Strawberry Semifreddo

Delicious, red, ripe strawberries are all over the markets now and boy are they good!  Sweet, juicy and sold on the side of any country road, they are the true sign that summer has arrived.  If you find yourself with a few pints of sun-ripened strawberries, give this a shot for your next large group get together, (July 4th BBQ, anyone??).

White Onion Soup

I am in an eternal search for elegant, yet simple and seasonal meals.  Quality ingredients and minimal steps guide me to recipes just like this.  One of my favorite cookbooks, Living and Eating by John Pawson and Annie Bell, is loaded with this exact mantra.  Every recipe I have tried has proven itself to be something worth repeating over and over and over.
