So a group of us went with one of the Apicius chefs to Grom, and the owner gave us a special lesson in gelato-making. He made stracciatella (cream ice cream with dark chocolate shavings) from scratch for us, and believe me, the soft-serve version is easily the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Sadly, soft-serve gelato is not available because it goes from creation into the flash-freezer for commercial sale. But seriously. It was amazing. After that, he offered us a few scoops from the regular stock. I asked him for his favorite flavor: Toroncino. (Known as “nougat” in English.) He paired it with café (coffee, duh). Amazing.
