Bon Appetit really hit one out of the park with their June 2009 issue, particularly with the feature called “Very Berry Desserts”. I’m all about the berry desserts and have already tried the Blueberry Shortcakes with Lemon Thyme Biscuits — I still need to work on the texture of the gluten free version of the biscuits to get them just right before I post about them here.

Missed the setup? Read Concord Grape Pie, Part 1.
Alright, so I had my hands on the elusive Concord grapes, and my mother-in-law had emailed the recipe weeks ago, when I first told her of my quest for Concord grapes. I wished that I didn’t live 500+ miles away, because she sounded quite wistful about the grape pie (as wistful as one can sound in an email), and I thought that it would be nice to give her a piece or make her a grape pie of her very own as a thank you. I also thought it would be great if some other grape pie fans lived nearby, so I could give them the remains of what I was sure would be a disastrous dessert without having to feel guilty for throwing it in the trash. Can you feel the optimism?

I have turned into a strawberry fiend lately. I’ve always liked strawberries, but since they’ve started appearing en masse at the grocery in the past month or so, I feel like a “strawberry love” switch has been turned on in my brain. It doesn’t hurt that the first couple of pounds that I bought were some of the best strawberries I’ve had in my life. So, naturally, I had to make this strawberry galette pretty much as soon as I saw the picture in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living.
