Lemon, Limoncello & Thyme Sorbet
I was recently sent a copy of The Flavour Thesaurus, in which I looked up herbs that might be a good match for lemon.

Recipe Roundup | Ice Cream Cones & Cups, Biscuits & Baskets, Wafers & Waffles
I knew when I set May’s #BSFIC theme as Cones & Cups, Biscuits & Baskets, Wafers & Waffles (or indeed, any other edible containers for ice cream) that it was quite a challenge.

But a few committed ice cream lovers joined me anyway and shared their recipes using dried fruit or nuts. I dithered over what to ... Read more »
Recipe Roundup | Boozy Ice Creams
Setting booze as a theme for December’s BSFIC seemed a no brainer! ‘Tis the season to be merry, after all… Booze certainly brought out the best in you, with some wonderfully creative and delicious entries: I went for a super quick and easy ice cream using ready made chocolate custard and biscuits and a bottle from ...

Recipe Roundup | Savoury Ice Creams
For this month’s BSFIC I set quite a challenge, asking you to create savoury ice creams.
