You might think the family . . . → Read More: Grandma–again with the mashed potatoes? Since I was lucky enough to buy fresh strawberries at the Dixon Farmers’ Market, I tried another new strawberry gelato recipe. I think this recipe will serve as my base for gelato from now on.

(I find myself only reading foodie books now—in fact I just got Anthony Bourdain’s new one, Jay Rayner’s The Man Who Ate the World, and my very own copy of Reichl’s Garlic and Sapphires delivered to my door.
