Springtime Strawberry Social, with Miriam Rubin

June is strawberry month in the Hudson Valley, so let’s celebrate with an old-fashioned Strawberry Social. In this demonstration class, chef Miriam will prepare a glorious (but easy) one-bowl strawberry shortcake. The tender cake will be generously topped with juicy sugared strawberries and mounds of fresh whipped cream. Also on the menu will be a strawberry galette in a flaky cornmeal crust and a surprising strawberry salad with mint and spice. All very good things that will wake up your winter weary tastebuds.

• Strawberry Shortcake with Sugared Berries and Cream
• Strawberry Galette in a Cornmeal Crust
