I have been working a zillion hours a week, in a kitchen that feels like the surface of the sun. Which has been amazing- I'm learning tons, but I have been somewhat less than inspired to cook when I get home. I'm still really feeling frozen treats, and until I can come up with something interesting and blog-worthy to prepare at home, please see the following list of delicious ice creams, gelatos and granitas I have been working on, by way of proof that I'm still trying:
Zabaglione gelato (lemon and marsala flavoured, inspired by the traditional Italian egg white froth)
Fresh strawberry ice cream (spiked with cherry brandy)
Strawberry-rhubarb granita
Mascarpone gelato (served with fresh strawberries in lemon syrup)
Fresh mint-stracciatella ice cream (mint-chocolate ice cream is totally different when the mint flavour is real, and the colour is not neon green)
Cantaloupe granita (this one was a winner. Waiting until the cantaloup was a shade past ripe gave it a really full and bloomy mouth-feel)
My goal for the week: cook something at home that I can write to y'all about.
Fresh strawberry ice cream (spiked with cherry brandy)sure sounds great to me.
