Indulge me, if you will; what makes a favorite cuisine, a favorite for you?

Is it the journey to the place or origin through the food, great memories attached to the meal or something else entirely?

I think it's a lot of things for me. Certainly sometimes it can be any of those or something else entirely but often I find it's the experience as a whole. The emotions and memories associated, the way the flavors and aromas play with my senses and all of the local culture and history behind the cuisine itself.

Hola Delicious People!

As many of you know, I am a big fan of Mexican food, it is hands down my favorite cuisine. A local Chef & friend who has inspired me for years is featured in an awesome article that was just published in Sunset Magazine.

Looks like DDD is a popular show!

Great ice cream choice. I need to figure out how to work banana into ice cream better than my last experiment that did not go very well.

What about making a banana base and then adding other ingredients to it? Or do another type of base and adding frozen chopped/mashed banana to it -- Just a thought.

It is the consistency of the banana once frozen that I need to experiment with. I refuse to use flavorings or extracts so the flavor has to come from some maceration of the fruit. Same with coffee flavored ice cream which I have been working on. I cooked the espresso down and then made a syrup. The banana is a little more challenging but it is fun to work with.
