STRAWBERRIES IN ROSE CRèME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Put half-and-half in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to just under a simmer, then turn off heat.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle hot half-and-half into the sugar mixture, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, whisking, over a very low heat until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can do this in a double boiler.) Remove from heat and strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve. Cool over an ice bath, then stir in rose flower water. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Crème anglaise can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
• To serve, place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, tasting as you go until the berries are your preferred sweetness. If you like, add 2 or 3 drops of the rose flower water to the berries.
• Pour ½ cup sauce into shallow dessert bowls. Spoon berries over. Garnish with rose petals, if using.

• In a glass trifle dish or individual dessert dishes, alternately layer the strawberries mixture, cake cubes, whipped cream, and the custard sauce (if using).
• Top with whipped cream and decorate with several of the choicest berries.
• Serve immediately, or cover and chill until serving time. Best if eaten the same day.

STRAWBERRIES WITH CREME FRAICHE AND SUGAR

Steps:

• Rinse however many strawberries you have (they should be ripe and fragrant) and pat them dry, but leave the hulls on to use as little handles. To eat, swirl a berry in creme fraiche, then dust it with confectioner's sugar.

STRAWBERRIES-AND-CREAM STACK CAKE

Steps:

• Combine granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; continue boiling, covered, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Uncover and continue boiling, swirling pan gently as color develops at edges of pan, until sugar turns medium amber and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Remove from heat; carefully add lemon zest and juice and 1/4 cup cold water (add water all at once and pull hand away immediately; mixture will splatter and steam). Stir until smooth; if necessary, return pan to low heat to liquefy completely. Transfer to a heatproof bowl; let cool until slightly warm to the touch, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk mascarpone, cream, confectioners' sugar, and salt on medium-high speed to stiff peaks. Working one at a time, dip 10 ladyfingers in caramel, turning to fully coat and allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Spread a very thin layer of cream mixture on bottom of each dipped ladyfinger (to prevent sliding); arrange on a platter in a snug row.
• Dollop one-third of remaining cream mixture on top; spread to edges in an even layer. Top with one-third of strawberries in a single layer. Repeat dipping and layering twice more (skipping the thin layer of cream mixture on bottom of cookies for remaining layers).
• Cover loosely but fully and refrigerate at least 24 hours and up to 2 days. Top with more halved or whole berries. To serve, slice between each row of ladyfingers.

ARROZ CON LECHE WITH STRAWBERRIES IN SHERRY

Steps:

• Put the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the sugar, zests and cinnamon. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to help the sugar dissolve, then take the pan off the heat and leave the flavours to infuse for about 30 mins.
• Bring to the boil again, add the rice, then turn the heat right down and cook gently for 30 mins, stirring from time to time. Make sure the rice isn't 'catching' on the bottom of the pan. Leave to cool, remove the cinnamon stick and zests, then add the lemon juice and as much cream as you like to achieve the consistency you prefer. If the rice seems too thick, stir in more milk. (You can put it in the fridge to thicken, but I prefer serving it at room temperature.)
• Cut the strawberries into slices about the thickness of a 50p coin. Put in a bowl with the sugar, orange juice, zest and sherry, and leave for about 20 mins. The sugar will dissolve and the fruit will become glossy. Turn it over every so often; don't leave the fruit for too long or it gets limp.
• Divide the rice pudding between glasses or bowls and spoon some of the strawberries - with the sherry juices - on top.
