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

    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 […]

    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.

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 […]

  • Rooibos and honey ice cream

    Rooibos and honey ice cream

    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 […]
