I love a good backyard cookout, with endless variations on burgers piled sky-high with hickory smoked bacon, sautéed Walla Walla sweet onions, sharp cheddar, all of it artfully smashed between a warm brioche bun. And let’s not forget the hot dogs slathered in pickle relish and mustard, the all-important potato salad, and grilled sweet corn.
And at the end of all of this juicy smoky grilling is dessert. There have been years where I’ve grilled everything, including dessert. But nothing really wows a crowd like an angel food cake. Artfully adorned with red and blue berries, this humble dessert is transformed into an enchanting nod to the stars and stripes.
Pair with a light, convivial Asti rosé.
