The time of the year that people love to eat strawberries is here and many chefs are offering their own unique presentations of this delicious fruit. Many examples of various strawberry desserts are presented and described in loving detail by the chefs that designed them. Strawberries are so popular this year that many chains are also offering various desserts made with them in their establishments as well. Even chefs; in areas where strawberries have not come in the season yet, are taking advantage of using other fruits that have to make desserts that look (texture wise) like strawberry shortcake.
