To express my love for cooking, nothing is more appropriate than an Italian word-Cucinami (made up of the words for kitchen-cucina- and Love-Ami) Cucinami!
But then a famous person once said
“One cannot live without food and love”
So it is an appropriate word that combines 2 important essentials of life!
As I dwell on my love for cooking in 100 degree weather on the East Coast, thoughts also trickle to a cool gelato, and making something that takes me away from the heat…better even yet if you can get fresh, local lemons.
Gelato Di Limone
*3 fresh, fragrant lemons
*3/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 egg white
Squeeze lemons. Add sugar to lemon juice. Whip with wire whisk till sugar has melted into the juice. With a wire whisk quickly blend in the milk. In separate bowl, whip the egg white till firm. Fold beaten egg white into mixture. Place into gelato or ice cream maker according to directions on machine. Enjoy with sprig of fresh mint, grated lemon peel.
