    Mandarin and lemon ice cream at mid-winter

    It came as a bit of a shock looking back to see than my last posting was ‘S’long to South Africa’.  Life has changed quite a bit since then as I have taken a job as Environment Officer for the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. It is a great job for […]

    S’long to South Africa with lime and blueberry ice-cream

    I have been in South Africa for six years now. I came here to do my PhD and liked it so much I stayed on to do a post-doc. It really is an amazing country with diverse landscapes and diverse cultures. I could write a ten page testimonial about why it is great here but […]

  • From green bean to ice-cream: coffee ice-cream from scratch

    From green bean to ice-cream: coffee ice-cream from scratch

    I have been fairly quiet on the Triple Motion blog for a while now.  I feel slightly embarrassed that I let life get in the way of a good cranking session and so as part of my mid-year resolution I am determined to make a mends. I was not really sure what flavour to go […]

  • Whisky and honey ice-cream – Antarctic style

    Whisky and honey ice-cream – Antarctic style

    Update: Click here for the updated Whisky and Honey Ice Cream recipe. SANAE IV research station is located on a small nunatak called Vesleskarvet, in Western Dronning Maud Land. Although the building its self is rather impressive, it is but a tiny spec on the immense landscape of the Antarctic. It is this landscape that […]

  • Making Ice Cream in the Land of Ice

    Making Ice Cream in the Land of Ice

    Close your eyes and think about Antarctica. You will probably think of ice-bergs, pack ice, icy waste lands…generally a whole lot of icy thoughts. This is for good reason as 90% of the world’s ice is found on the continent. As part of my work a researcher at the University of Stellenbosch, I am privileged enough […]

    Coconut, cardamom and banana ice-cream in the clouds

    Once upon a time, some Triple Motion crankers had a crazy idea…the conversation went something like this: Jen:      “Hey Dave I’m coming to the UK, lets make some ice-cream” Big D:    “Sounds good. What did you have in mind?” Jen:      “How about cranking on top of a mountain in the […]

  • Pear, ginger and lemon ice-cream

    Pear, ginger and lemon ice-cream

    South Africa is a great country. One of the many reasons for this is the abundance of public holidays bestowed upon its people, my favourite of which is National Braai day. For those of you who do not avidly follow the Triple Motion website and so missed out on the ‘Triple motion reaches the Southern hemisphere’ […]

  • Lemon and apricot pancakes

    Lemon and apricot pancakes

    As a kid, I never liked pancakes -they had too much grease and too much egg. The thought of the annual ritual of Pancake Day filled me with dread. You can only imagine how happy I was to discover the Triple Motion buttermilk pancake! These fluffy little nuggets are a joy to eat and I can (and do) eat […]

  • Pumpkin ice cream

    Pumpkin ice cream

    I was first inspired to have a go at making this ice cream when I went to my local food market and saw the most fantastic display of squashes and pumpkins. It was like something out of a harvest festival – all the colours of the rainbow and textures from as smooth as a babies bottom to […]
