Your week
Your food
Food editor Lorie Hutson gathers four ideas for quick desserts with a patriotic flair for the Fourth of July holiday: Star-spangled Strawberry Shortcakes; Raspberry- Blueberry Coolers; Patriotic Parfaits; and Red, White and Blue Meringues. We’ll also have a recipe for garlic scapes from the local farmers markets, details on a day dedicated to canning foods and a cookbook that will help keep the kitchen cool this summer.
