I love this, Lindsay and when strawberry season comes back around (next spring) I will absolutely try it. I have a dedicated dehydrator, so the babysitting may be slightly reduced. But with anything I've not dried before, there is some guess-work involved that requires not wandering too far for too long. I appreciate how you centered this process in "me time." Not that we need an excuse for that, but it's nice to have one all the same. The trio of images, from fresh to dried to the impressions left behind, are worth framing. I can't remember: Does @Rebecca Holden subscribe here? She, too, had a recent love affair with strawberries. The creativity is inspiring! https://rebeccaholden.substack.com/p/157-studies-in-scarlet
Lovely. Australia is mad about air fryers these days. If you have one of those in your cupboard they can be used as a dehydrator too! Food for thought. Literally. :)
Beautiful colour and texture and imagined flavours here. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh Lindsay, this is so beautiful - words and pictures alike! A real treat of a post! Loved it all, and this part in particular:
"Leave to cool for a few minutes then painstakingly flip each little slice, taking a moment to appreciate the way the strawberry juice stains the parchment in coin-sized circles."
The beauty of summer bounty is very special - and the way you've expressed it is wonderful! 🍓

oooh I love @rebecca's post! 🍓 and wow Elizabeth, thank you for the vote of confidence, imaging a strawberry triptych!
Awww, thanks, Elizabeth! I'm sooooo happy you've introduced me to Lindsay's beautiful writing! xxx
Air Fryer, yes.. use to dehydrate everything!
Plus other uses, so a staple on the counter.
Now to try powders, thanks Lindsay ❤️
An airfryer is in my future... xo
