Occasionally an ingredient is so good it asks politely to be left alone. The difficulty is listening. We have the ability to do almost anything with and to an ingredient. Implementing restraint, doing absolutely nothing except enjoying the sun warmed berries feels like cheating. It is amazing, how as a cook, we feel guiltly by doing nothing. In the case of these strawberries if we did anything but eat them we would have done them a disservice. Tomorrow, if there are any left, we can explore possibilities about the next steps. For now I need a napkin.
