Who had the bright idea to put Anne Thornton on the Food Network? Give whomever that was a big raise!

Engaging on-air personality who is a bona fide pastry chef and imparts "chef tip" knowledge along with the recipes. Even when I don't intend to make what it is she's cooking, I love to watch her for what I learn. A la the best of Food Network's other professional chefs, Anne Burrell, and top dog cooking professional, Alton Brown.

As for this recipe - very nice twist on classic strawberry rhubarb combo, with easy tip on neat new application of puff pastry. Omitted the "lid" level of the pastry. Beautiful on the plate too. It sings Spring.

Even at that, it would have been four stars but the creme fraiche ice cream bumps it up to five! Wicked good ice cream and so simple to make. Will be used again and again this summer with fresh berries and baked stonefruit. Next time I plan to add just a pinch of salt in with the sugar. Seriously.
