1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: You were listening to Ruthie's Table four in partnership with Montclair.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: I got really into making ice creams around twenty fifteen

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: or so, ten years ago. Yeah, and so I have

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: this great just Italian, you know, one of the big

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: with the compressor inside it that can freeze anything, which

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: is great because it takes away you know, you don't

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: have to be that good at making your if your

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: customer isn't right on, it'll still freeze it. And yeah,

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: I love I mean I went off and did like

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: I got into doing like infusions in the ice cream.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: I tried and infusing tobacco and then ice cream once

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: it was delicious, and I thought that that was like arsenic.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: I thought that was poisonous. But I read a recipe

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: where it was like, no, if you just do it

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: it just for a bit, and so.

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: How you did it?

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I literally just took pipe tobacco, which which

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: I had some of, and it was just like ten

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: minutes infusing it in the custard base. And there's other

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: arians where you can add liquid, smoke and stuff, but

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: this gave like a really it was a cigar ice cream.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: But honestly, end of the day, I just if you

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: can pull off just a terrific terrific, just like French

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: vanilla or terrific fresh strawberry ice cream. Yeah, I mean

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: there's nothing like the basics. I think.

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: More and more like vanilla ice cream at the end

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: of the meal. I just love too the vanilla. You know,

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: we use the vanilla pods and you scrape them and

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: you have the right amount of vanilla. We've also found

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: a variance of the type of vanilla pods about a

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Gascar has vanilla pods. They're expensive, yeah, but they're crucial,

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, to have the right vanilla. But I love

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: a vanillaska. Also, I think we're doing Francis Coppola. You know,

34
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 1: he's living in London now and so he's.

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: Coming listen to your podcast.

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: And he when he comes, we absolutely have to have

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: chocolate sorbet.

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeahs a superficial.

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people like the lack of dairy.

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have it on the menu tonight,

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: I'll give you some.

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I think. Actually I think I had the chocolate sorbet here,

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: and what surprise me about it is how like if

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know it was sorbet and not a gelato

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: or ice cream. I don't know if I would have told,

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: because it's equally as rich and almost as like it's

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: like the equivalent of a flowerless chocolate cake. But like, yeah,

48
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: it's really good.

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I was in Spain last weekend and they made a Nemesis,

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, the chocolate cake that we do, And when

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I saw it in the tin, I said, how are

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: you guys going to get this out? Because it was

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: so completely big and they scoop it out like an

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: ice cream, a different way of eating Nemesis all but

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: I love it.

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: I love it, like the massive cherum asu that they

57
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: just like to take it out. That's fantastic. Wow.

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: But you make sorbets as well with that.

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: I've dabbled in sorbets, but it took me a while

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: to get my custard game just right. And once I

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: kind of got the hang of that, that just guarantees

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: like a perfect creamy, delous like impressive ice cream and

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: so and you can obviously then make any flavor combo

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: you want. You know, you can do. There's so much

65
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: to go from there, and I personally don't don't have

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: a problem with dairy, so I usually just default the basics,

67
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: because yeah, I'm trying to think of the last time

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I made a sorbet.

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: No, it was the last time you made an ice cream.

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Well it's been a bit, but but I've been baking cookies.

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: A friend gave me as a gift a great book.

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: I think it's called Crumb and it's it's regional cookie

73
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: recipes from like across the world, and it's just really basic,

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: like traditional cookies, but it's really fun, just like trying

75
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: the Swedish gingerbread cookies versus like the Mexican coachilla like

76
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: that you do like in the in the forum, in

77
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: the shape of a little pigs and like, I don't know.

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: It's so I've been on a cookie jag.

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Recently we found the greatest recipe for chocolate chips. Okay,

80
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: because that's hard. Well, everybody has a different I like

81
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: some very thin and crisp. Some people like them really

82
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: During COVID, I tried to what's your favorite? I like

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a thin one. I kind of use this I think

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: it was from Originally it's from the New York Times,

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: the one on the back of the toll house chocolate chips.

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: That's a classic one. But I quite like them like

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: one of the ones that you can also buy in

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: a packet. I don't know what they're called.

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: It's the margarita pizza. It's like nothing to hide behind.

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: It like I do, like I really do like to

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: end a meal with an ice cream rather than a cake.

92
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: And I do like vanilla. Yeah, sometimes an espresso over it.

93
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: It's quite nice.

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,839
