More Ice Cream on the Fringe – this Thursday!
by Peter Gerard – August 26th, 2009 — ice cream
Roll up! Roll up!
More free ice cream is coming your way. At 5:15pm this Thursday 27 August (in celebration of my mother‘s birthday!) we will be serving up another massive and delicious batch of ice cream at Dee Custance‘s Lemon Custard Comedy Show at the White Horse. Those who missed the last two weeks have no excuse now (did I mention that it’s FREE?). Ben Kempas came all the way from Munich last week to eat the ice cream and take these pictures!
Last week we made a batch of vanilla that was almost not really vanilla. When I was rapidly preparing the mix I forgot the precious drops of vanilla extract and Thibault and I cycled in the rain to the Royal Mile only realising the mistake a few yards from the venue. Thibault quickly embarked on a wild-goose-chase (in the rain!), navigating Edinburgh’s road construction to find the only vanilla within a mile-radius. By the time he got back the ice cream was very near frozen and the comedians were getting anxious.
But we managed to stir in the flavour and delighted the audience with the Triple Motion goodness. It was again, a great success.
So don’t miss it this Thursday!

Franzi’s first homemade icecream (Whisky and honey)
by Dr Big D – July 30th, 2009 — alcohol, ice cream
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 of england (ahemm).
Then when Shiv also came to visit and I found myself with 2 lovely people in my house it was inevitable that the excitement would spill over into making icecream. Continue reading →
Mumbai Ice Cream Flavours

My friend Florian just sent this picture from India. It lists a fascinating array of flavours available in a Mumbai ice cream parlour.
Strawberry & Basil Ice Cream
by Peter Gerard – July 12th, 2009 — ice cream, recipe
I was hosting an impromptu dinner party this evening and someone else had promised to bring dessert. I tend to make a lot of strawberry ice cream this time of year, but wasn’t planning on cranking today.
When the promised dessert did not materialise I somehow ended up telling my five guests about the joys of the White Mountain Freezer. They were certainly intrigued, but since I’m from Missouri, just talking is never enough. For some reason, we were also talking about the Show-Me State.
The story goes that in 1899 a Congressman named Willard Duncan Vandiver from Columbia, Missouri (my hometown) was dining at a naval banquet in Philadelphia. Someone at the banquet must have been making some grandiose claims worthy of incredulity, and Vandiver remarked, “I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces me nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me.”
So in true “show-me” spirit, we quickly procured some double-cream and whipped up a unique batch of ice cream with ingredients I had on hand.
Pumpkin ice cream
by Jen Lee – July 7th, 2009 — ice cream, recipe
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 as wrinkly and gnarled as grandmas elbow!
Having had a ponchon for pumpkin for a few years now, I had already worked my way through a range of recipes including: pumpkin curry, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin soup, pumpkin mash and pumpkin pie (the latter was expertly made for me by Big D when he cam out for grad at the beginning of the year). I decided that it was time to take things to the next level and try pumpkin ice cream…
Saffron ice cream in Primrose Hill park
by Dr Big D – June 29th, 2009 — ice cream
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 and collect the machine at the same time.
Rooibos and honey ice cream
by Jen Lee – June 18th, 2009 — ice cream, recipe
After some elegant shipping arrangements the ice cream maker so kindly procured for me by the triple motion crew (see last post for detailed thanks) has finally made it to South Africa. Yippee!
However, in order to get it here within my luggage allowance I had to co-opt some help in the form of my good friend and fellow Antarctic traveller, Brian. What better way to thank him for his efforts than to make a batch of ice cream.
