Handmade Vanilla Ice Cream with DaVero Olive Oil

This recipe comes to us from our friend Bruce Hill.  Bruce is a real under-achiever, with only three of the Bay Area’s best restaurants to his credit: Bix, Restaurant Picco, and Pizzeria Picco.

He serves this at the Pizzeria, and it’s been featured in several publications including the New York Times. [Read more →]

The creme de cassis goes well with the blackberries but if you don’t have any, some eau de frambroises or a little brandy will do the trick. [Read more →]
