You can find any strawberry pie recipe. You might find more complicated strawberry recipes, but none will be better tasting than this old American Strawberry Pie recipe from Sunset Magazine. Grab your strawberries, make a crust or buy one, but do have a slice! If you love the flavor of strawberries and find the ones in the US to not be that flavorful, purchase the Wild Strawberry Essence from Grasse, France from www.simplygourmand.com

Can you tell me the name of the French company that makes the essences the store used to carry?
Thank you,
Tarah
Hi Tarah,
It was a group of companies but they currently do not have distribution at the consumer level in the US. I am working with a wholesale distributor to see if there is a way for small consumers to purchase them in the US.

Thank you, Nancy, for working to try to bring those essences back to the US market. I just found your store had closed as I was getting ready for my annual restocking. I will miss your store immensely and I have no idea how I'll replace the flavors I've used so liberally in my cooking for the last 12 or more years. Here's to hoping!
Thanks so much! Keep us posted!!!!
