Strawberries in season

Georgia strawberries are in season.  That means kitchens across the state are producing cobblers, shortcakes, pies, jellies and jams.  However, you don't have to be a cook to use strawberries.  They are delicious fresh on pancakes and cereal and make a colorful addition to fruit salads.  Here they are paired with a selection of Georgia cheeses (Yes, we produce cheese here in Georgia.  Look out Wisconsin!) made by Sweet Grass Dairy of Thomasville (http://sweetgrassdairy.com/).  Shown along with the cheese plates in the vertical shot is a strawberry shortcake created by Chef Cathy Conway of Avalon Catering in Atlanta ( www.avaloncatering.com/ ).  Chef Conway paired fresh strawberries with fresh whipped cream from Sparkman's Cream Valley Dairy in Moultrie (http://sparkmanscreamvalley.com/) to create this scrumptious dessert.
