This Week in Ice Cream Club – Don’t be Sore, Bae.

Hey there Ice Cream Club! Sometimes I think I should be Sorbet Club. There have been weeks where I made nothing but sorbets, mostly because I got hold of a watermelon. Watermelons are an excellent base for sorbets, and I use them as much as possible. When I make a watermelon sorbet base, I simplyContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Don’t be Sore, Bae.”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Thanks

Hey there Ice Cream Club. If you’re Canadian, like me, you may have what’s known as a ‘turkey hangover.’ Mine is running a few days now. Soon I’ll have a turkey sandwich for lunch, then make a stock using the carcass from the turkey, and then eat some squash soup using the stock for dinner.Continue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Thanks”

I Scream for October – Day 3

Hey Ice Cream Club! Did you ever feel like you’re lost in an implacable, endless dessert? Like a huge cheesecake? Or maybe a gigantic bowl of cheesecake ice cream? If that sounds corny, it is.

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Urban Harvest

Even though it wrapped up my week, I’ll begin with a shoutout to a new friend (a friend of my roommate) who generously opened up their yard and fruit trees to invited pickers. My roommate and I went this afternoon, just before some light rain, and came away with literally pounds of apples, plums andContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Urban Harvest”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Ebb and Flow

Hey Ice Cream Club! We’re officially in the last month of Summer now, and for me, that means trying to pack in every moment of sunshine that I can before the weather changes. We’ve had some much-needed rain this week, but it really cools things down and dampens my enthusiasm for making ice cream. ButContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Ebb and Flow”

Why Make Your Own Ice Cream?

I live in a large city, and ice cream options are plentiful. If I want to spend a mint on a mint chocolate parfait, I can go to one of the high end restos or hotels. If I want accessible artisan ice creams, I can get those for a high price in a lot ofContinue reading “Why Make Your Own Ice Cream?”
