Here's a list of some more interesting tidbits from John Thorne.

Cookbooks

< Simple French Food by Richard Olney
Mythology and Meatballs: A Greek Island Diary- this sounds particularly fascinating, though where I'm going to find it is beyond me.

I'll type up more later.

I found this recipe for lemon ice cream in a book called "The Outlaw Cook", by John Thorne. The clever thing about it is that you don't need to make a custard first, and you certainly don't need an ice cream maker. I'm not sure it will come out smooth enough, but let's try it out.

Lemon Ice Cream

1 cup of superfine (caster) sugar
2 cups of cream
Juice of 1 lemon and its zest.
