Featuring 75 refreshing recipes, this book is the ultimate gift for
ice cream fans. In a small converted greengrocers in south London
(her ice cream shed), Kitty Travers creates an array of iced
delights - fresh ice creams that taste of the real, whole fruits;
hand-made choc ices that crack open to reveal layers of playful
pastel-coloured flavours; juice-drenched granitas to be stuffed
into brioche buns with fresh cream; and eye-popping,
palate-tickling sorbets. La Grotta Ices is the culmination of
Kitty's obsessive exploration and research into 75 ice cream,
sorbet and granita recipes. Sunlit flavours and far flung
traditions pervade Kitty's ice creams as well as her ultimate
inspiration: nature. La Grotta celebrates ripe seasonal fruits and
the true artistry of real ice cream through inventive flavours and
pure, natural ingredients. 'Kitty is an ice cream magician, her
flavours are total food alchemy, it's like she's climbed inside my
head and come up with my dream flavours. I am spellbound' Anna
Jones
Sallie Ann Robinson was born and reared on Daufuskie Island, one of
the South Carolina Sea Islands well known for their Gullah culture.
Although technology and development were slow in coming to
Daufuskie, the island is now changing rapidly. With this book,
Robinson highlights some of her favorite memories and delicious
recipes from life on Daufuskie, where the islanders traditionally
ate what they grew in the soil, caught in the river, and hunted in
the woods. The unique food traditions of Gullah culture contain a
blend of African, European, and Native American influences.
Reflecting the rhythm of a day in the kitchen, from breakfast to
dinner (and anywhere in between), this cookbook collects
seventy-five recipes for easy-to-prepare, robustly flavored dishes.
Robinson also includes twenty-five folk remedies, demonstrating how
in the Gullah culture, in the not-so-distant past, food and
medicine were closely linked and the sea and the land provided what
islanders needed to survive. In her spirited introduction and
chapter openings, Robinson describes how cooking the Gullah way has
enriched her life, from her childhood on the island to her
adulthood on the nearby mainland.
