with all the fresh rhubarb & strawberries growing wild this season, we are celebrating the launch of wusthof's urban farmer collection! a collection of knives inspired by the grow-your-own dining & the farm to table movement. designed for city dwellers with a passion for home gardening, the knives are crafted of stainless steel (ft. a high carbon content) & the wood handles are so beautiful, made from roasted european beechwood. aside from how much i love the look of a wood handled knife, they are also safer & easiser to handle when wet. stay tuned friends, as i will be hosting a giveaway to celebrate the launch of the urban farmer collection on instagram this week. now, let's talk about this not so familiar pie!
i know we have (almost) all had the classic strawberry + rhubarb pie, but have you ever had strawberry + rhubarb sour cream pie? i came across this dessert when a local bakery mixed up our order for a traditional strawberry + rhubarb pie, with this creamy concoction. we were all confused as to what pie we recieved, but a quick google search confirmed what dessert it was. the bakery version was good, but not as good as the recipe i am sharing with you today. this one features both a creamy filling & a crumble topping. as it bakes, the crumble topping soaks into the filling & once you bite into it.. oh my gosh. delicious. it is currently strawberry picking season, so if you picked too many strawberries for your basket, try this new favourite. enjoy!
