So many flavours, so little time!
It seems the weather is having a last hurrah of warm weather in some parts of the country, so seems a good time to indulge. This weeks sees the launch of The Icecreamists at Selfridges, the so called agents of cool. Now, this could look like style over substance, with a guerilla ice cream installation, apparently subterranean, subversive, and subzero. I’m very excited to have tickets to go, but even more excited to taste the flavours!
No raspberry ripple here! Well, there might be, but it won’t be called that. There’s Obamarama, a traditional milk chocolate, Espresso Yourself, for an iced coffee type hit, and the delicate yet paradoxically named Axl Rose-Water. Of course, all the hype so far has been about the Sex Pistol: viagra and absinthe ice cream served with a shot of absinthe in a pink water pistol. Less 99, more 69!
And then there was Julian Hunt twittering from the Guild of Fine Food Retailers Awards, especially about Lou’s Liquorice ice cream, made with Pontefract cakes, from Yummy Yorkshire . Sounds very different and quite delicious! Looking at their website then I quite fancy the Marmalade Cheesecake as well.
Of course, the ideal is to make delicious versions at home. I’m still trying to find space to put a proper ice cream maker in, one of those with the inbuilt freezer, so can just decide on a whim to knock some up. And if I find room for that, then I’ll need to find room on the bookshelf for Lola’s Ice Creams and Sorbets. Beautiful looking book with great photography and great recipes.
All I need now is a few more days of sunshine. And to work out what to wear on Thursday!
