Ice Dreams

So for some crazy reason, every winter I get intense cravings for ice cream.  Maybe somewhere deep in my brain, as soon as the cold air hits my face, memories of brain freeze trigger something that makes me want moooore.
So, here are a few that I have been experimenting with:

                                                                         CaraCara Orange and Fennel Sorbet              
Meyer Lemon Sorbet

and finally...



Roasted Pineapple, 
Black Pepper
& Grains of Paradise 
Ice Cream
...just enough of each to meld flavors nicely together







So, if you like what you see, or have requests for ice cream, email me to order a pint or two!
Thanks again for taking a moment to glimpse into the world of food that I love.
Oh, and enjoy your brain freeze,
Amanda

Looking Forward

Here is a little New Year's Day cake I made for a friend


Extra-chocolatey Red Velvet Cake with Citrus Cream Cheese Frosting, coated with candied citrus zest.

Cheers to a year that I anticipate to be prosperous and action-packed!
