Summer season and we all love icecreams and sorbets. This year my friends bought me a ice-cream make for my birthday and it is a really amazing. I love it so much, its small and compact and it makes it so much easier to make icecream. I have tried to make it manually in the past but sometimes it can tricky because you have to remember to take it out to break the ice crystals.
So far I have made mango sorbet, berry sorbet and mocha hazelnut ice-cream.
All are very tasty but my personal favourite mango sorbet.
Mango Sorbet
1 large mango.
50g sugar add to taste
100ml of hot water
1. Skin and chop the mango
2. Puree the pieces
3. Place water and sugar into a sauce pan with the pureed mango and simmer for approximately 5 minutes
4. leave to cool overnight.
Freeze and occasionally break ice crystals or place in ice cream maker and follow instructions

This is my first attempt of of making Miso Cod ( I didn’t find any Black Cod so I can’t really call it Black Cod). I used Sugar, Sake, Mirin and Miso paste to marinate and reserved some for the sauce. Unfortunately the flavors was not infused into the cod so I think I will wait until the recipe is perfected for posting it up.
