Perfecting ice cream

By , November 30, 2009

One focus of my energies has been testing and adjusting recipes for ice cream and sorbets using tropical fruits, and I’m happy to say I’m close to cracking the final version.  I’m creating a base recipe which can be adjusted slightly to work with all fruit, so that readers of the cookbook can launch off on their own experiments as well as use the suggestions I’ll be making.  At the moment the freezer holds papaya sorbet, jaboticaba sorbet, passionfruit ice cream, black sapote spice ice cream and jakfruit ice cream.  Sad to say they are such central recipes that I won’t be posting them here – you’ll have to wait until Tropical Cuisine: Cooking in Clare’s Kitchen is released.

However, I did finish testing a recipe which I’m posting here soon – Golden Syrup Lime Dumplings.

The business of self-publishing

By , November 4, 2009

The business of self-publishing has been consuming my energies and time of late, hence the slow rate of posting. That will change soon, as I have been cooking (thank goodness!) in amidst the number-crunching and setting up of publication processes. So I’ll be back soon to post some foodie stuff.
