Having challenged myself to make a savoury ice cream, I decided on blue cheese as my flavour, melting strong blue cheese into the no-churn condensed milk and double cream ice cream base that I discovered a few months ago. It was a bit of a nightmare! I slowly melted 100 gram of Roquefort into ... Read more »
When I set September’s BSFIC theme as Spices I thought people would find it easy to think of ideas. Not only is vanilla the queen of ice cream spices, there’s also anise, cardamom, chilli, cinnamon, ginger, mustard, paprika, pepper and saffron, to name just a few!

I invited bloggers to be liberal with their interpretation – not only chocolate ice creams, sorbets and lollies but also chocolate ripple and chips, chocolate sauces, even encasing ice cream in chocolate à la choc ice! True to expectations, we have some wonderfully diverse and delicious entries:- ... Read more »
We might not have had quite enough sunshine this month to really make us yearn for light, bright and refreshing sorbets, granitas, shaved ice desserts, slushies and spooms but that hasn’t stopped us from getting creative in the kitchen. Solange from Pebble Soup was very fast off the mark, posting her entry only two days ... Read more »

I can think of far better ways of acknowledging St Patrick’s day than dressing up as a leprechaun or downing pints of Irish beer in an Irish-style pub. There’s a wealth of fine food across the Irish Sea and I was sent some samples to review by Bord Bia (The Irish Food Board) and Paxton ... Read more »
