    Home cooks on the East Coast of Australia are waking to the news of that their strawberries may contain sewing needles. Authorities are advising customers to bin them.

    But don't ditch your strawberries!

    Short of running a metal detector over the punnet, the best way to check if your strawberries are safe is by cutting them up. Here are ten great recipes that use cut-up strawberries.

    Strawberries and white chocolate go together like mac and cheese or, if you prefer, gin and tonic. These strawberry and white chocolate muffins from The Annoyed Thyroid are a delicious way to use your surplus strawberries.

    Finally, this is the busiest time for our strawberry growers and this scare will likely see a downturn in sales during the peak of their season.

    Please don't stop buying strawberries - their sales during the season help sustain them for the rest of the year.

    If you need tips of how to choose strawberries, you can read my interview with Di West, a Sunshine Coast strawberry farmer here.

        Pleasure Sam, thanks for joining in. I feel so sorry for the farmers who were set to have a really profitable season in an often dim industry.
