Have you ever bitten into a ripe, fragrant strawberry? Or a luscious peach, its juice dripping down your chin? Or a pear that explodes with flavor? Sometimes fruit, all by itself, just seems like the perfect end to a meal. Now, In Seasonal Fruit Desserts: From Orchard, Farm, and Market, Deborah Madison manages to improve on perfection, turning all of your favorite seasonal fruits into a cornucopia of decadent tarts, pies, puddings, and cakes.
Most of us find it difficult to incorporate enough fruit into our diets but with more than 175 recipes in this book, you’ll find plenty of new, healthy and totally pleasurable ideas. Dessert doesn’t need to be a complicated and time-consuming task after you have prepared a whole meal. These simple and flavorful recipes are easy to master and will delight your family and guests.
In the second half I’ll be chatting with Jeff Knapp from Sokol Blosser about the winery, the vineyards and some of the wines availble from this great Oregon producer. Jeff will be in Wichita next week and hosting an AIWF tasting at Larkspur on Thursday May 13, 6-7:30 p.m., it’s open to the public and will feature 4 wines and some fun Larkspur food.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of The Week: 2008 Sokol Blosser Pinot Grigio & the perfect for Spring…Evolution!
Evolution’s off-dry, somewhat tropical wine with a crisp finish is like no other blend or single varietal wine. We carefully merge Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, White Riesling, Semillon, Muscat Canelli, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Sylvaner. For those keeping score, that’s nine different varietals which add up to a flavor greater than the sum of its parts.
