Strawberry is one of the classic American ice cream flavors, after chocolate and vanilla, and it’s most sought after in the spring and summer months when fresh strawberries are at their peak. Preserve that sweet, floral taste by whipping up a batch of this rosy ice cream.

Instructions

1Prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside. Combine cream, milk, and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
2Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in a large bowl until foamy and light in color, about 3 minutes. Remove cream mixture from heat and slowly pour about 1 cup into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
3Pour cream-egg mixture back into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until custard coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. (When you draw your finger across the spoon, it should make a mark through the custard, which should not run back in on itself.)
4Remove custard from heat and strain into a large heatproof bowl. Stir in vanilla and place mixture over the ice water bath to chill, about 10 to 15 minutes.
5Meanwhile, combine strawberries and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Let berries macerate for 10 minutes at room temperature. Using a potato masher or a pastry blender, mash until fruit is mostly pea-size and very saucy, then add to the cooling ice cream base.
6Once the ice cream base is cold, cover and place in the refrigerator to chill completely, at least 3 hours or overnight.
7Once the base is thoroughly chilled, freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to 10 days.

How to Make Pastrami Beef Tongue

(10:03)

Video from CHOW-TO

Offal is having a big moment in the food world, which prompted Guillermo (a self proclaimed offal lover) to visit chef Jeremy Salamon (one of NYC's youngest LGBTQ rising star chefs) at The Eddy, right on time to celebrate Pride month. Jeremy's critically-appraised, mostly Hungarian menu, was inspired by his grandmother’s recipes. Offal is a staple of Eastern European cuisines, so it made sense to make delicious pastrami beef tongue. Let's tongue for Pride! PS: The Eddy will be closing it's doors this Monday 6/17 after dinner service - New Yorkers: the restaurant will be offering all guests a 25% discount on their check (no minimums, no maximums, no questions asked).
