Organic A-Z: Ice Cream

Alrightie, I'm really pushing it on the letter I. There are very few foods that start with this letter. Even my copy of the encyclopedic foodie bible "LAROUSSE GASTRONOMIQUE" is of little help. The giant tome does make mention of IGUANA and two types of wild goat: Ibex and Izard. While I am a huge fan of goat curry and once met a man in Costa Rica who told me that Iguana tastes exactly like chicken, I just don't think those are appropriate theme ingredients for this episode...and where am I going to get a farm-fresh iguana?

But I seriously love ICE CREAM. It is one of the tastiest treats on Earth. Just pure magic. And so I chose Ice Cream Sandwiches for fun. Sure, I didn't even make ice cream...but I got a good excuse to show off my cookie prowess!

I've experimented with a ton of ice cream recipes and ice cream makers and I've never found the magic combination at home. It always turns out disappointing. Buying ice cream is a pretty cheap and easy way to get instant gratification. Now that several producers are making ORGANIC ICE CREAM it is something I want to celebrate on the show!
