As we meditatively scrape mango flesh from skins, slice loquats, and juice plump citrus fruit, Kitty explains how the juice from Fern’s mandarins will be magicked into a smooth sorbet. Yet as I’ve found that the restrictions of my challenge have pushed me to bend the rules further and further – first to include non-fiction books I’ve read for work, then to link to the pieces I’ve written linked to these books instead of writing a proper review, then to seek out shorter and shorter novels, and include novellas and short stories in my 52 – I’ve started to understand that my shortcuts are necessary, for me at least.

The ice creams, sorbets, and granitas featured in La Grotta are fruit-focused--the best produce goes into the ice cream and sorbet bases to ensure the purest taste of the fruit shines through.

I am certain I will make every recipe in this book because I have the advantage of knowing just how good La Grotta Ices is.
