Place fresh strawberries into a blender and give it a whirl. In no time at all, you’ve got a pale pink milkshake. Whipped cream and strawberry jam spill from the rim of the glass. It’s a treat as dreamy to look at as it is to eat.

You’ve got to eat strawberries in strawberry season. And Taiwanese strawberries are more delicious than other strawberries. They’re more fragrant. Strawberry cakes, strawberry souffles, and strawberry milk are all good.
Strawberries are great in cakes and drinks. They also star in creative desserts like mini yogurt balls and one-bite cheese cakes. But the wackiest concoction of them all is this:
An imposing tower, made with more than two dozen strawberries. Measuring 50 centimeters tall, it’s drizzled with condensed milk. Just looking at it can make your knees go weak.
