The August 2009 Gourmet Magazine cover featured a glorious stack of ice cream sandwiches. So many food magazines, so many covers but that one I remember the best. I’m still sad that the magazine shuttered. I have fond memories of walking through the Conde Nast building and up to the Gourmet floor where the scripted black logo sign hung at the entrance. I worked with their events team at one point and I’m grateful to have collaborated with such an iconic magazine when I had the chance. Okay, enough reminiscing, and onto the sandwiches!

What’s a girl to do when she’s got leftover berries? Pavlovas with mascarpone whip cream and balsamic-roasted strawberries. I don’t do simple.
Earlier this month, I went on my annual berry picking trip. I love the perfectly ripe, super-sweet berries but they don’t hold up as long as ones bought from a store.

I was inspired to make these after seeing Eva Longoria prepare skirt steak recipes to promote her new cook book, Eva’s Kitchen. She was on Martha Stewart’s show to demonstrate her technique with grilling skirt steak for tacos. I must say, she was a great guest. I find some people don’t know how to interact with Martha, who is such an authority in the culinary world. Eva was really knowledgable and informative as she walked through the recipe and was being interviewed. After that, on Food Network’s Mexican Made Easy, Eva created chunky guacamole, the perfect topping for quesadillas.
