Why You Should Rendezvous at the Market
by Tess | Thursday, June 17th, 2010 @ how2heros ! Eat. Cook. Be Merry.
With the how2heroes table positioned close to bundles of farm-fresh†strawberries at the Cambridge Center Farmersí Market, one†could say weíve had strawberries heavy on our mind. Vibrant in taste and color, we needed a true hero to curb our craving with the perfect dessert.†That hero came in the form of Steve Johnson, chef/owner of Rendezvous in Cambridge, MA.
Steve joined us at the market to make a classic with a twist: Strawberry-Rhubarb Shortcake. If youíve never tasted rhubarb before, this recipe is a good introduction, adding a nice tartness and even richer color than the strawberries alone. To cut the tang, Steve poured a home-made sweet cream over his grandmotherís biscuit recipe and paired that with the fruit. He then garnished with fragrant fresh mint. Whether you were or werenít there, you can remake the magic with this†recipe. Soon to come is the full-length how-to video featuring Steve and his signature dessert!
As usual, we were selling a sweet treat to help raise money for the Federation of Massachusetts Farmersí Markets.
