Strawberry & Basil Ice Cream
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.

It’s a simple recipe: It was delicious, not […]

Lime and Basil Sorbet
Today is Boxing Day, so it’s a good excuse to sit back, relax, and reminisce about ice cream and sorbet flavours from the past year. Naturally a few slipped through the net on Triple Motion, so I’ll do my best to start catching up. We made Lime and Basil Sorbet many months ago, and it […]
