Intro
“In a generation of busyness and schedules and desperate convenience, I hope to encourage people to eat at home with people they care about, to compose produce-focused meals, and to value their health, through the food choices they make. My contribution to that is accessible recipes that take more time to prepare than eating out or microwaving, but reward you with the joy there is in feeding people well.”
Sara Forte, Bowl + Spoon
Sara put into words so beautifully what I felt the moment I found her blog. Her recipes send me bounding into the kitchen eager to make dinner, her words, comfortable and easy, have me pining for a seat at her table, and Hugh’s photos show the simple beauty in food and the cooking process in a very real way and yet every photo feels like a piece of art. They also happen to be two of the best people we know.
While I may tend to use a bit more butter than Sara (and not surprisingly the first thing I make from her book is dessert) her food is nutritious in a way that is doable. The ingredients don’t force you to wander the streets in search for the nearest health food store and they don’t require a few days to soak. Sara’s food, like her, is inspiring, inviting and comfortable. And most importantly, it’s just damn good.
I know that Sara and I do share a similar, shall we say, appreciation for ice cream. So of course that’s the first recipe I jumped to . The simplicity of the sorbet had me doubting its merit until I scooped out a slumped spoonful from the machine. It was deeply coconut flavored and perfectly sweet, as in, not too much so.
The simple tart and sweet sauce pooled in the bottom of the bowl made it somewhat reminiscent of an affogato. For that reason I kept the sauce a bit warm to mimic that same magic that happens when cold ice cream meets hot espresso.
My first trip to the grocery store I failed to gather pistachios. I lamented to Sara about my mistake. “Oh no! It’s ruined.” She joked in her text. But I did go back for pistachios and I’m not sorry because they add the perfect bit of crunch.
Sara and Hugh, you guys have done it again. It’s a stunning work of art that will find its way into my kitchen again and again.
In my excitement for the book’s release I eagerly pre-ordered two copies which I think works out perfectly because now I can share the book with two of you! If you would like a chance to win a copy please leave a comment below. I’ll pick two winners on Monday (4/6). I hate to do this to my non-US readers but for this one I’m just going to keep it to the states. Thanks.
Coconut Sorbet with Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
This recipe is written as it appears in the book. Sara suggests stirring ins 1/2 tablespoon of fresh ginger into the sauce after it’s cooked. I left in out in mine but you can add it if you’d like.
The texture of the sorbet is best the day it is made.
Serves 6
3 cups coconut milk (2 13-ounce cans)
2/3 cup natural cane sugar
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
SAUCE
4 cups chopped ripe strawberries
3/4 cup diced rhubarb
1/4 cup natural cane sugar
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
In a medium pot, warm 2 cups of the coconut milk, the sugar, brown rice syrup, and a pinch of salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. In a large bowl, add the remaining cup of coconut milk and stir in the vanilla and cornstarch to dissolve. Slowly stir the warm coconut milk into the coconut-cornstarch mixture. Set the bowl in the fridge to cool completely. Once cooled, churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Leave the mixture to set fully in the freezer.
For the sauce, in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, a pinch of salt, and the sugar. Leave everything to very gently simmer for about 20 minutes. Give it a stir and barely simmer again, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes longer. you will have chunks of fruit between a loose liquid; this will set more as it cools to become a thicker sauce. Allow the mixture to cool, uncovered, to room temperature. The sauce can be kept, covered, in the fridge for 1 week.
Serve the sundaes with a puddle of the sauce, a few scoops of sorbet, another drizzle of sauce, and pistachios on top.
If I won I’d give book to my teenage daughter who has a birthday coming up. She’s developing an interest and skill in both cooking & baking. Thanks for opportunity.
The quote from Sara at the top reminds me why I love to cook for my family and encouraged a healthier option than what I was leaning towards for dinner this evening… Thanks, as always, for the wonderful inspiration!
Oh my goodness I LOVE rhubarb and strawberry! Truly a magical combination and a reminder summer is coming!!!
Ashley!!! I’m friends with Sherry & Ed!! I can’t believe you worked with her, that is super super awesome. She’s such a sweetie!!! (Literally)….
No way! How do you know them? They are the best. I wish we lived closer.
Ed and I have been friends for a long time. My office was located upstairs from his. I was thrilled when we discovered Sherry was single and I remember when she invited him to Spago for dinner. She brought out EVERY dessert for us. It was a dream. Were you at the wedding?
That’s so great. I wasn’t at the wedding but my husband was the photographer. Small world. Tell them hello!
I’m seeing them in a few weeks, we need to convince them to come visit Seattle!!
Sara and Hugh are such a dream team. I’d love to get my hands on a copy.
It would love a chance at an extra copy of the book. You are so generous and thoughtful!
Delicious! I’m such a big fan of coconut, and definitely a fan of *cough*obsessed with*cough* ice cream! One to try for sure!
Excited about the new book…I have their first one and love it! Great photos here too, Ashley.
Absolutely stunning. I have her first book and adore it!
The photography and recipes have made me swoon time and time again. Thanks for sharing their book with one of us!
This sounds so delicious! I need to get an ice cream maker! I’d love to see what other delicious recipes are in the book!
I always love the opportunity to break out the ice cream maker before summer, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so! I love Sara and Hugh’s first cookbook, and I’m excited to see the latest one!
How wonderful!
This sounds delicious! I love coconut. I can’t wait for the first rhubarb of the season (I’m in Minnesota – it may be a while!)
I’ve been meaning to buy your book but if you’re giving one away in a drawing, why not see if I’m the lucky winner.
Gorgeous photos! I definitely need a copy of that beauty in my kitchen 🙂
I love coconut sorbet. This looks so delicious!
Where can I find brown rice syrup? I don’t know if I’ve seen it before. What would be a good substitute? Thanks!
Some grocery stores carry it. I actually didn’t have it on hand so I used just a bit of corn syrup but I imagine you can use honey as well. It’ll just add a bit of honey flavor, which I don’t think is a bad thing.
Absolutely gorgeous photos, can’t wait to try this! Thanks for the sharing!
Gorgeous and delicious looking. Love a great sorbet.
I’m always up for a new good cookbook! And ice cream!
I am very excited to have recently come to know your website. I have a plan to make your roasted cauliflower in the next week. Bowl + Spoon is on my Amazon Wishlist, as is your book. 🙂 Cheers!
I can’t wait to make this now that it is (finally) warming up in Maryland!
Hi! I am from Canada, so I am out – but I really wanted to still comment that I love your blog, and oh.my.goodness – coconut AND strawberry rhubarb sauce, together, in one bowl!? I must try this and I must do it soon! Thanks for all the great recipes!
This looks delicious!
This looks so good, I want to make it. Hope I win!
Oh, I would so love to win. I just made the book’s soba tofu recipe last night, inspired by the Lottie & Doof review! Would love to make more.
My favorite combo ever. ( even more than chocolate & peanut butter.
Holy. Cannoli. I tried rhubarb for the first time ever (!) this past weekend and it rocked my world. Rhubarb pie is my new favorite pie, which is truly saying something coming from a homemade apple devotee. Coconut would just be beyond.
Oh, yes, please! That recipe looks wonderful!
With summer coming up, this is perfect for my family. Never have I ever wanted to eat coconut so badly, too bad I’m allergic. Beautiful nonetheless.
I loved their first cookbook and I would love to get my hands on this one – bowls of tasty food are my favorite weeknight dinner!
my friend! What a treat and just the pick me up I needed today. I respect your work SO SO much. It means the world to have your affirmation. My favorite thing about blogging has been the friends I’ve met – and getting to know you well has been a joy and blessing. Thank you for your friendship. May there be ice cream in our future. xoxo
This looks and sounds amazing! I Can’t wait to try it. I’m intrigued by this book and hope I win a copy. Thanks for this giveaway!
Yes!! The combo of strawberry and rhubarb is always a winner! I can’t wait to get into Sara’s new book, her first cookbook is so full of notes and stickies that it looks like I’ve dragged it through the kitchen too often!
That giveaway is awesome. 🙂
This makes me want to run out and buy an I ce cream maker! This recipe has the perfect flavors for my palette. Yum! Thanks for sharing, and for the chance to own this cookbook.
This is beautiful, Ashley! I can’t believe that I forgot that Sara’s book was coming out this week. I need to pick it up!
What a fantastic recipe to welcome in SPRING! I love Sara’s take on healthy, yet approachable food. I can’t wait to check out the book. Thanks for the preview.
This was a beautiful post and more simple than I thought it would be! Thanks for the lovely recipe. I can’t wait to try it.
Hello. I can’t wait to tell my daughters about this. We can have a nice cooking day 🙂
rhubarb season is my favorite!! congrats on the book, i can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
I think I would love this book, the way you describe her cooking style sounds amazing to me.
looks amazing as per usual!!
Yes, please! This takes me even one step closer to an ice cream maker. I keep hoping to find a good one used and may need to step up my search a bit. So yummy. (Would love the book. Their work is fabulous!)
This looks like summer!!! augh! my favorite flavors!!!
I’ve had my eye on this cookbook! This ice cream looks so yummy.
wow thanks!
That looks fantastic – and it’s lactose-free, too! JOY! I’m probably going to need to add that book to my wishlist… 🙂
This book is definitely on my wishlist! Loved their first book and blog 🙂
I am so excited to follow a new to me blog! And to try a sweet treat that looks so yummy!
I wish I had the coconut ice cream right now…Coconut is in my top ten favorite flavors. Would love to have the cookbook!
that recipe sounds delicious- I’m sure I’d love that cookbook!
What a great springtime combination!
Oh, wow! After reading that recipe, I can’t wait to see what other gems are in the book!
Owesome 🙂
I can’t wait to make this! I love Sara & Hugh’s first book and blog, so I’m looking forward to the new one, focused on “bowl foods” (the best kind). We’ll be out of town for the upcoming talk and signing at The Book Larder, so I’m sadly going to miss it. Fortunately, the new cookbook will be a prize in itself!
Looks like the perfect spring dessert for here in sunny Santa Barbara!
It’s kismet! I was just gifted an ice cream maker!
This looks so delicious, and is perfectly timed in my life since our family just recently went dairy free! I’m hoping to make it to Seattle to meet you and Sara at her book signing.
My bday is Sunday and I’d love it if I won a copy. I’m inspired reading both of your blogs and cookbooks.
I would love to use this on busy weekdays when I need healthy, simple dishes to for 1 or 2 (+ leftovers!).
I keep on hinting to hub that I’d like Date Night In as my next present! But this cookbook also sounds beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks for both this recipe and the chance to win!
This is simply stunning. I’d love to make this with my mom- I think she would really love the flavor combination!
this looks like the kind of book that would get me cooking again. It’s a slippery slope once you start eating fast food salads… I miss real food!
This looks amazing. I have the sprouted kitchen book and it’s one of my favorites!
This looks beautiful! I just got a new ice cream maker and this would be the perfect inaugural recipe!
would make my day to win a copy 🙂
I just love Sara’s writing and Hugh’s photography on the blog, and the new book looks just absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the giveaway!
Beautiful photos on the blog, would love to cook from one of the SK books
You always write such beautiful tributes to fellow food bloggers and authors. This post was no exception.
My dad is a no-sweets kind of guy. He’ll opt for popcorn or crackers 100% of the time over candy or chocolate. He does, however, have a soft spot for two desserts: blueberry pie and strawberry rhubarb crisp. I wonder if this sorbet is something he’d enjoy!
This looks fantastic! I’d love to win.
I would love to win the cookbook. We all need inspiration to eat healthy and to make a variety of foods. Your photos are wonderful!!
Looks lovely, This would be great to share with my family
Thank you for your beautiful blog! I would love to own a copy of your book!
I’m eagerly awaiting my copy of this book – it doesn’t ship to the UK quite as quickly – but in the meantime I will make this beautiful sorbet. Gorgeous photos and Sara’s words, they’re exactly the reason I love to cook. Just beautiful.
I have had this cookbook release on my radar. This recipe only makes me more excited to get my hands on a copy of it!
I love her philosophy of food and cooking. Fingers crossed!
Really looking forward to jumping into this book!
I love Sara’s blog. When I stumbled upon it, I read through all of her entries! She really makes it so simple and shows there’s really no rocket science in cooking. Sometimes you see a photo of a dish and you think you can never make it, it’s too much work and it’s so complicated, and you don’t have time for it. Sarah makes cooking sound so simple and enjoyable, and I see more people being able to relate to her that way. And oh my goodness, the photos.. such beautiful work!
Loved her first cookbook, can’t wait to see Bowl + Spoon! Would love to have a copy of my own!
This recipe looks delicious! I can’t wait to give it a try. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the cookbook turned out 🙂
Can I eat this for breakfast? Gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing – Not Without Salt and The Sprouted Kitchen are two of my favorites <3
this looks divine! I think I would have to make this now 🙂
Would love to share this with my sister!
This looks divine. I’ve added the cookbook to my list of “must have” but winning a copy would sure be nice, too! Thanks for the opportunity!
Recipe sounds fantastic, I am sold. What is a good substitute for Rice Syrup?
thanks
Kiran
I’ve been really looking forward to this book’s release.
With a toddler running around my feet and another babe on the way, I’ve had such a hard time getting into the kitchen lately. I love this whole concept of “bowl + spoon” and hope it would help me find a little more motivation in the kitchen!
I would love a copy of the book! I’ve been reading her blog for a long time. Thanks for this!
That looks so tasty, we just got rhubarb at our local grocery and strawberries from the farmers market.
I am so excited for this book! This recipe look so fresh and delicious.
As a sufferer of many food allergies, it’s always nice to find something I can eat without alteration. This will be perfect this summer (and of course, I’ve already bookmarked the page). Yum!
Just got back from Puerto Rico, where we were lucky enough to have friends cracking open fresh coconuts every morning. SO GOOD.
Would love to read your book, too, instead of waiting for my birthday to get a copy!
Yum! Anything with coconut is a winner for me. This book sounds like another one I need to dig into!
This book sounds like the perfect way to bring some excitement back into my cooking!
Wonderful recipe; and I would definitely love to win a copy.
Beautiful! This recipe makes me really excited for fresh spring produce!
Yum X a million!
I would love to win a copy – I love cookbooks and trying new recipes!!
I’m so excited about this cookbook! And this coconut sorbet – I really need to get an ice cream maker.
Both you and Sara are such inspirations to me. Your illustrative and thoughtful writing, your simple joy in cooking for your families, your humility and appreciation for the simple things… Thank you for always encouraging me to be grateful, to love, and to find happiness in everything I do.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to pair my favorite spring combination of strawberry and rhubarb with this coconut sorbet. And a good reminder to dust off my ice cream maker and get it ready for the warmer weather.
The first paragraph reeled me in. I can’t wait to explore her blog.
That looks wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win the book.
thanks for the chance, this looks delicious!
Date night -2spoons-NW spring evening is on my mind!
Oh! So ready for the warmth and brightness of all things now
I also pre-ordered Sara and Hugh’s book and I can’t stop looking through it! I’ve been reading it before bed and while drinking coffee in the morning. I can’t wait to cook my way through it. I want to make everything!
Even though I own the book, I would love to win another copy to share with my mom. My dad is a very picky eater, which makes it hard for my mom to eat healthy. This book has so many great ideas that would work for lunches that she could make sure to get at least one healthy meal each day.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful recipe!
This recipe looks absolutely delicious and I’ve never made ice cream with coconut milk. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of her cookbook!
This looks amazing! Always looking for something new to do with strawberries!
So excited to try this recipe! Looks scrumptious!
I am just absolutely in love with this and would just die to have Sara’s new book! This looks lip-smacking, drool-worthy good!
that looks beautiful and i’d be so excited to win a copy!
I’d love a book from Sarah and Hugh!!
That sounds and looks delicious!
This sorbet looks delicious! Just in time for hot weather in Florida.
We grow rhubarb in our garden so I can’t wait to make this! I absolutely love all of your recipes and would LOVE your cookbook!!!! 🙂
You had me at coconut … mmmm. Can’t wait for summer. Hell, can’t wait for spring to finally show up!
This post and this recipe made me immediately jot down: “Summer goal: Ice cream! Sorbet!” – and I really mean it, I want to make homemade ice creams my jam this year!
Would love to see more of what Sara has to share!
I’ve been dying for a good coconut sorbet recipe. Will be trying this ASAP!
This looks so beautiful (and delicious)! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book.
So looking forward to this book! My favorite part of the day is making dinner with my husband. Every night we are in the kitchen together cooking. Each with our own little tasks.
We own the first Sprouted Kitchen book and the splatters and stains show we get quite a bit of use out of it.
This new one sounds right up my alley. Much like Sara, I enjoy bowl foods as well. There is something so comforting about them. Can’t wait to pore over it.
Also, Hugh was my wedding photographer. So I can attest that his photos are dreamy!
I’m a cookbook junkie and would love to add this one to my collection. Can’t wait to try this recipe, as I love rhubarb and strawberries together.
That looks so delicious! I need to defrost my freezer so I can fit the stupid ice cream maker bowl in there again. Thanks for the giveaway!
The book (and this summertime sorbet recipe…) looks amazing! Congrats on your success!
This coconut sorbet looks incredible, Ashley, and that sauce!! Sara and Hugh’s book is one I just can’t wait to get my hands on. Love! <3
I would love a copy!
Love rhubarb! Would love to have this cookbook!
I have some rhubarb in my kitchen right now that is longing to be a part of this recipe!
Looks so yummy! 🙂
I’d love a copy of the cookbook!
I think I may try serving this over angel food cake this weekend! Looks great!
I’d love a copy of this book!
This looks so delicious- I haven’t ever cooked rhubarb before, but it looks like it’s finally time to try it!
This looks delicious. I can’t wait for strawberries and rhubarb to starting showing up in the farmers’ markets here so I can put that sauce on everything!
I literally just finished a batch of ice cream! Warmer weather always reinforces the habit…This looks delicious 🙂
What a gorgeous recipe!
This sounds amazing!!! I’d love to win a copy of the cookbook!!!
Such beautiful photos Ashley! You and Sara are at the very top of my weekly blog reads, thanks so much for the continued inspiration!
Woohoo! Can’t wait to get my hand on a copy of this lady’s new book! I am such a bowl food person — I know the cookbook will be a perfect fit!
Your photos are simply gorgeous!
This looks perfect for my company this week! Yay! Thank you. I would love to win a copy.
I’m so very excited to read this latest cook book! Hurrah for Sara and Hugh!
That looks so good! Makes me want to get an ice cream maker. I would love to win the book! Too bad I won’t get a chance to meet Sara since I have a schedule conflict during her author talk at Book Larder.
I’d love a copy of that book!
This looks wonderful and I would love to win a book!
a) this recipe sounds AMAZING.
b) I just added Bowl & Spoon to my Amazon wishlist the other day! I’m turning into a terrible cookbook collector.
Yum! I would love a copy of their book, and this coconut sorbet is definitely happening in my kitchen. 🙂
This has me craving summertime. So so lovely, as always!
Yay, coconut! That ginger stir-in sounds especially intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
What a beautiful, delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I love to make ice cream and can’t wait to try the coconut sorbet. Thanks!
A perfect spring time dessert– pairing spring strawberries with the coconut to hint at the tropics!
I’ve been craving rhubarb lately, and compiling way more recipes than I’ll actually be able to make…but adding this to the list as well 🙂
I don’t love coconut, but that recipe sure looks delicious!
Rhubarb growing in the garden (come on sunshine!) – and we love coconut – recipe made in heaven … can’t wait for my wife to try this for me to taste-test!
I am so excited to read her blog, love the photos you took of the food.
This looks delightful! Putting the book on hold now at my local library.
wow great to find a new food blog to folow
I’d love to learn some new healthy recipes to share!
I’ve been a longtime fan of Sara and Hugh’s, and I would love their second cookbook! This sorbet sounds great!
Oh, how I’d love a copy of your cookbook!
So beautiful and delicious!
Sounds lovely!
Your photography is stunning. I follow you on Facebook and share your recipes on Pinterest. This is another winner. Thank you!
i admire both of you – the food you cook, the words you share, the photos you take, the expression of who you are. thanks for sharing yourselves and super tasty recipes with the world.
Looks delicious!
Both you ladies carry such beautiful messages about food and the importance of cooking. You are awesome!
LOVE your cookbook, and already can’t wait to get my hands on Bowl + Spoon. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win.
This looks SO delicious – and what gorgeous color! I definitely need to check out this cookbook.
What a beautiful blog! I look forward to trying this recipe. I have a dear friend who is allergic to dairy, so this will be a perfect dessert to make the next time she comes over for dinner. Thanks for sharing it and thanks for the beautiful photos.
This looks amazing and perfect to kick-off spring with! Would love a copy of the cookbook!
Would love to win this!
this looks divine! I, too, am a big fan of adding warm topping to my ice cream to get that melty combo of goodness! I have not gone the stretch to invest in an ice cream churner, but this post may just send me in that direction. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the book, as well! I have Sara and Hugh’s first one, and am even more excited about their second (bowls > plates for food vessels, as far as I am concerned!).
Would love a copy!
So up my alley!
I’d like to win a copy of the book! Whether or not, however, I am going to start following Sara’s blog! Thanks so much for the tip!
Oh my, this looks delicious. Those strawberries!
Oh how I love rhubarb. It always reminds me of my Mom because she would grow it in her garden when I was a kid. I know for certain she will stock me up in the next few months. I’ll have to try this recipe, the colors are amazing!
Yumm! Pistachios! Strawberries! Rhubarb! Doesn’t get much better than that!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to get my hands on her book!
Strawberries and rhubarb–perfect spring combo! Thanks! Love Sprouted Kitchen!
Beautiful. I’d love to display this cookbook right next to Date Night In.
I love the first book, I bet this one is great too!
I would love to win a copy of this book! Thanks for the giveaway!
I also follow Sarah along with you and have always enjoyed her wonderful recipes and her approach to whole foods! Beautiful pictures!
We are from the land of Iowa where rhubarb grows in abundance, and my husband would absolutely love this recipe, so I’ll have to give it a try.
Mmmmm, strawberries…
The combination of flavors sounds perfect. I will surely be making this in the near future once I can get my hands on some rhubarb. I hope to win a copy of the cookbook for more recipes like these!
Yes. Definitely going to be added to the list!
I’m so excited for rhubarb season, and so keen to get my hands on this book…
Thanks for the giveaway!!!
Your photos are so incredible! I’d love to win this.
Oooh, our rhubarb leaves are just about to unfurl from under the snow. Strawberries are still a dream away, though.
I would love to win a copy of your book. It sounds like it would be special.
I have been a long-time admirer of both you and Sara. I really relate to both of your words and would love a copy of this book. Thank you.
mmmm rhubarb reminds me of the summer i spent in yakima
How fun! Thanks for the giveaway.
This is beautiful! I love the philosophy of spending more time preparing and savoring our food as a way to bring people together.
yummmmmm! must check it out! I stumbled upon your blog and became obsessed with your date night in book via bev cooks blog and BOY! this is what has been missing all my life! THank you!
I think I need to get an ice cream maker, there are just too many great frozen treat recipes that I’m missing out on, like this one.
What a divine recipe! Thanks so much for sharing! Do you have a suggestion for a natural sweetener to use in place of cane sugar – would honey work? I can’t wait to make this – I’m thinking it could work in a strawberry rhubarb pie redux with a crumble top instead of crust!
I just bought Bowl + Spoon and I am so excited to cook from it! I’ve been an admirer of Sara and Hugh’s work for a long time now- their work is beautiful, and I have never been disappointed by any of Sara’s recipes. This coconut sorbet is definitely on the top of my to-make list from the book!
Thankful for this giveaway and for spring where rhubarb will be available.
Pistachios do make everything better! Love the flavor combination, I need to explore their blog & would love a fabulous new cookbook 😉
im glad I stopped by to read this post tonight, Easter Sunday. Sorbet is on my Spring list to make! We had raspberry sorbet from Sweet Cow in Louisville, CO after lunch…I forgot how refreshing it can be!
This recipe is with my favorite fruit. Coconut and strawberry combination is very interesting. Never tried this.
not a big fan of coconut, but your gorgeous photos & kind words might have tipped the scales in another way!
Thanks for sharing what looks like a scrumptious sorbet!
super yum!
Looks amazing!
this looks amazing! sara’s book looks incredible also. looking forward to picking it up.
Oh am I too late? My fingers are crossed that I’m not. Your blog is a staple. Your date nights an inspiration and your book is on my wishlist! And finally this recipe looks divine…will be making shortly! Thanks!
I grew up in southern Missouri, and some of my absolute best memories are of making ice cream with my mom and brothers, then eating it on the back porch while it melted in the hot, humid summer air. The cicadas were always singing and ice cream ended up all over the place as it melted. Once my mom died and I started to recreate recipes in her honor, I realized her magic ice cream recipe had gone with her. I’m really excited to try this recipe when my brothers come visit me this summer!
I think this post is going to tip the scales on my decision to purchase an ice cream maker! I’ve been debating for months.
This looks delicious! I don’t adore rhubarb, but I think I shall try this and see what I think….it looks fantastic.
I love Sara’s site and cook often from her first book. I would love a copy of her second one!
Yah! So excited about this post! Your pictures, as always, look beautiful. I’m also so, so excited to buy this book, and this recipe has me even more psyched about it! Thanks for sharing this recipe 🙂
Ashley, I am Brooke Bass’ mom (took your photo seminar with you and Gabe – loved it!!). I want you to know that she gave me your cookbook for my birthday, and it is FABULOUS!! One of my favorites is your creamy shallot vinaigrette – served it at a party, and everyone raved over the salad. Thank you for treating us all to your wonderful creativity, in so many ways. I look forward to more!
Cynthia, Thank you so much for your comment! Of course I remember you. I loved that you two came and took the workshop together. I am so glad you are enjoying the cookbook. I have been loving watching Brooke rise to the top with her blog. You must be so proud. What a talent.
This looks so lovely! I can’t wait to try it!
oh my yum!! Yes please!
I love this post so much. You both are wonderful human beings and food goddesses. Also drooling over these pictures and wishing that I was neighbors with you both. (ladies dancing with confetti) (I have a hard time not speaking without emojis now.)
I love the photos on your posts – I want to lick the screen they are so inviting. I would love to win a book – I cannot wait to make the sorbet and sauce. It looks amazing.
What a beautiful post and how lovely that you got to travel to New York City with your husband. ps- hubs and I have been having more date nights in thanks to your inspiring blog.
I just made your chocolate chip cookies this week and they were hands down the best I’ve ever made. I’ve been on a perpetual quest (like many others) for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Thanks for a winner! I loved Sara & Hugh’s first book – can’t wait to see this one!
This desert looks delicious. I would love to try something like that someday.
