Knickerbocker Story: Recent Episodes
Dom Chamglas
In each episode of the podcast, there's a short story about ice cream and a making session where the flavour is recreated and tasted.
The short stories are part of a collection that explores everything about ice cream. The flavours, the history and the memories it creates. Some of them are about the industry, some are about the flavour, some are about how and when we eat it. Nearly all of them are made up.
I wrote them because I love ice cream. At any time of the day or night, no matter what the flavour, I will always be happy to eat one. This means it has woven itself into many moments in my life in a way that no other food has. It has marked the changes, helped cheer me up, been shared at special moments and sometimes been eaten just to pass the time.
A look back to the past with a classic ice cream from the early 20th century which should be so simple to remake nowadays and yet...and yet...while the story draws from a funny fact from World War Two involving Walls' tricycles.
Tasters this time are Charlotte Pleasance and of course Agnès.

Kenny is a man who suffers. Oh how he suffers. You'd think chocolate ice cream could relieve him but instead he comes to a sticky end.
Then a making and tasting session that involves a big chunk of the French in-laws who turn out to be my kind of reviewers.

A story about losing someone you love and then finding them again through food.
The making session uses a brand new ice cream machine which results in a Limoncello ice cream that tastes exactly like something else.
