    Honey and Ginger Ice Cream for the Kids

    We made this batch at a post gig party at our place in Newcastle, as you can tell it was a family friendly event.

  • Apple Crumble Ice Cream and Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream

    Apple Crumble Ice Cream and Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream

    Our dear friend Foad is moving from London to L.A. and decided to throw a party for all his favourite people. We where honoured to be invited to make ice cream for the event. The theme for the party was “Goodbye London, hello L.A.” so we thought we would try and make 2 batches, symbolising […]

  • Lime Sorbet

    Lime Sorbet

    The folks on my street are very sociable and as part of the annual round there’s a Halloween party. This year it was actually a Mexican day of the dead party and  I decided  to make a lime sorbet.

  • Redcurrant Sorbet

    Redcurrant Sorbet

    Thibault and I made this sorbet 2 summers ago at a farm house in the Auvergne. It was a great couple of days relaxing in the countryside with the only memorable stress being and an epic game of petanque. There were a clutch of red currant bushes in the the orchard in front of the house […]

  • Rum Ice-cream and Christmas Pudding

    Rum Ice-cream and Christmas Pudding

    I’ve been making this for a number of years now to accompany christmas pudding and as an alternative to hot rum sauce. I like the contrast between hot dark rich pudding and cold refreshing ice cream. It’s become something of a family tradition.

  • Paw-paw/Papaya icecream in the Cederberg, South Africa

    Paw-paw/Papaya icecream in the Cederberg, South Africa

    Back in March I took a trip out to South Africa to visit my sister, and whilst there we cooked up this little adventure.  Soon after arriving we had some beautifully ripe paw-paw for breakfast and decided to see if they’d make good icecream. To add a bit more interest we decided to try making […]

    Passion fruit icecream

      With autumn approaching I’ve been kicking back with my feet up on the 1/2 gallon freezer (log fire, pipe, slippers, smoking jacket – you know the scene) and reflecting on a long successful summer of cranking. Looking back it seems that I’ve been so busy that I’ve written up precious few batches into the blog, […]

  • Blueberry Ice Cream at Julie’s Birthday Party

    Blueberry Ice Cream at Julie’s Birthday Party

    Blueberries are a regular theme on Triple Motion. This is the story of our latest blueberry experiment. When Julie’s 30th birthday-party was approaching, we were trying to decide what kind of ice cream to make. We ventured out to the shops. PETER: These locally-grown blueberries are great. These aren’t the native blaeberries, but they’re still […]

    Franzi’s first homemade icecream (Whisky and honey)

    Update: Click here for the updated Whisky and Honey Ice Cream recipe. I currently have the great pleasure of a houseguest from Hannover. Franzi is an old friend of Shiv (see Saffron icecream in Primrose Hill park) and is staying for a few weeks to enjoy to fabulous weather an sophisticated culture of the north […]

  • Saffron ice cream in Primrose Hill park

    Saffron ice cream in Primrose Hill park

    A complex series of events led Peter’s 1/2 gallon freezer to live in London for several months. This resulted in a reduction in Peter’s icecream making activities, since it takes quite a sizable gathering the polish off a 1 gallon freezer (or a heroic personal effort). So I planned a trip to visit my lovely friends […]
