Food & Wine

Craft ice creams are all the rage, with new indie producers breaking the rules by creating unusual, exceptionally delicious flavor combinations. Kitty Travers, the creator of the beloved London-based brand La Grotta Ices, is changing our expectations when it comes to these cravable cold treats. The ice creams, sorbets, and granitas featured in La Grotta are fruit-focused – the best produce goes into the ice cream and sorbet bases to ensure the purest taste of the fruit shines through. And when combined with unexpected herbs and other mix-ins, the results are eye-opening: rhubarb and angelica, guava and lemon leaf, white grapefruit and pale ale, tomato and white peach, raspberry and sage, chocolate and caper. Featuring 85 photographs in a stunning design, the recipes in La Grotta will utterly surprise and inspire home cooks to explore homemade ice cream in delightful new ways.
