Reviews
We loved this dish! I was surprised because I am not a big vinegar fan but we couldn’t stop eating it and I never thought I would say this…but like Raffy, I liked it better without the whipped cream! We love it when Giada has Raffy on the show! She makes us laugh! Thank you Giada and Raffy!
we could certainly do without raffy!!!! drop her!
I used two packets of Stevia in the Raw (would maybe use 1.5 for Sweetleaf as it is a bit stronger) for those who are wondering about the possibility of substitution, and it was absolutely delicious! This is a wonderful, easy dessert that will surprise and please your tastebuds!
I used some chocolate infused balsamic vinegar I received for Christmas. Even my 9 year old loved it. We put it over sherbet.
So simple, and oddly delicious. I loved this! I ate the strawberries without the whipped cream, like Raffy does. Yummy.
so good and easy. Guests will be impressed. Question— can’t find how to make the lemon slices she ate with strawberries. They seemed crispy. Anyone can help me??
I love this dish, so delicious! I make this all the time. It’s so easy, fast and just brings out the flavors of the strawberries. Everyone that I’ve served this too has loved it.
Very easy and very good!
This was such an easy and delicious recipe. I did not change a thing and my husband and I both loved it!! I told my husband Giada said that in Italy they use balsamic vinegar and he would like me try doing it that way next time.
I made this yesterday but omitted the whipped cream-I’m not doing an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill for it. LOL. It has a sweet/tart taste but it’s really delicious. Sweet because of the sugar and tart because of the red wine vinegar. I found myself constantly going back for more and more. My husband loves tart things and I love sweet things so needless to say, this snack didn’t last very long in our house: You won’t regret making this. If you had the opportunity to watch the episode, you’ll also know that it was very comical. I love her aunt Raffy. She’s very authentic and genuine! I loved her Italian spunky attitude.
