Sometimes, the language of cooking is one of the toughest parts to get a handle on. After all, how are you supposed to follow recipes if you don't know what all the techniques are? Have no fear! The new ice cream glossary is here. Each month, two or three new terms will be defined and explained in this section. From the basics, like types of desserts, to the specific of ingredients and techniques, this will be built into a comprehensive ice cream dictionary.
To start off this section, I began by defining one of my favorite frozen desserts that many people have not tried before - granitas. It is a great dessert for hot weather and one of the fastest frozen desserts to put together. Read a little bit about it and check out some great recipes and links from the glossary page.
