“We all love a well-roasted, caramelised butternut or pumpkin soup. Why not include a dollop of red-onion ice cream to add a savoury sweetness that will take the norm to a remarkable level of interest on the palate? Adding this to any special menu - think wedding - will get your guests’ attention. ”
