Today has been a rather exciting day, dear reader.Thanks to a wee tip-off, Aoife from My Home Supper Club said that the Fairy Hobmother had stopped by her blog, and was granting wishes to her readers. Specifically, we’re talking foodie gadgets and cookbook type wishes, which is beyond fabulous. He hops from (foodie) blog to blog, granting these wishes, and I am so chuffed to say that my wish came true. When not zipping through the web-o-sphere sprinkling goodies the FHB David Ingram works for Appliances Online. So, if you’re looking for some sexy new kitchenware…!
So what was my wish, I hear you ask? I asked for an ice cream maker, very seasonal! My brain has gone into overdrive with ideas for yummy flavours of ice creams, sorbets and frozen yoghurt.
Given that the Silver Fox and I have spent the last month devouring episodes of the TV show Dexter, I think I have an idea for the first recipe with my new gadget. Anyone familiar with the opening credits will know the bit where the blood orange is sliced in half, so I reckon a vibrant, tasty blood orange sorbet is first on the list. I’ve just had a scan through Georgio Locatelli’s Made in Italy and there’s a great section on sorbets and ice cream.
I’ll get a recipe up and a photo of my new pride and joy ASAP. The best bit is that the Fairy Hobmother will then grant a wish to one of Leil’Appetit’s readers.Will let you know how to do this with the next post.
It’s gonna be a good summer.
