Roasted Stone Fruit Sorbet
This was not going to be a post about sorbet. This post was going to contain cake, or a salad, or some sort of fritter with corn and summer squash. But then I had all this stone fruit. A little past prime, a little soft around the edges. And, well, suddenly I had visions of…

Salted Chocolate Rye and Vanilla Bean Olive Oil Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream wars! Who else had them as a kid? Chocolate or vanilla! Strawberry or chocolate, vanilla or both?! I always chose chocolate, and I got a fair amount of flack for it. But vanilla never held a candle to chocolate for me. It was boring, tasteless and way too basic. I’m still not much…

Sweet Corn Ice Cream with Blueberry, Raspberry, Bay Leaf Swirl
Things pop out at me, now. The way the air is beginning to cool earlier. The late summer prune plums at the market, heralding the almost onset of fall. The apples, at the market too. I want to tell the farmer it is too early for them, but who am I to argue with nature?…

Six Impossible Things
Hi everyone! I’m back from a wonderful Shavuos/Memorial Day break. We enjoyed a relaxing holiday with beautiful weather and I managed to sneak in some naps, re-read a bunch of old food magazines that we dug up and hang out with friends and family. We ate great food, like salted caramel blintzes, cereal milk ice cream, and multiple…

Stone Fruit Galette
The best thing about late summer, besides for the slowly cooling nights and star-filled skies, is the stone fruit. The apricots, the peaches, the plums. They become softer, and more full of nectar, and sweetness. These fruits work well in almost any scenario, but in the urgent rush to consume them before they’re gone, I…
