A Taste of Summer: Herban Feast Pastry Chef’s Recipe for Rhubarb Sorbet

14 Jun A Taste of Summer: Herban Feast Pastry Chef’s Recipe for Rhubarb Sorbet

This wonderful weather is bringing a bounty of locally grown produce to our farmer’s markets, and one of our favorites – for its obscurity and tartness – is rhubarb, which can be found fresh at markets through June!

From crisps and crumbles to conserves and cakes, rhubarb is a summer delight and a great base for summer cooking.

Just in time for 4^th of July parties and barbecues, our Pastry Chef at Seattle restaurant Fresh Bistro, Maya Barber-Kurose, recently revealed her recipe for Rhubarb Sorbet. You can find this treat on our new ‘Chill’ Gelato and Ice Cream Dessert Carts – mobile dessert bars which add an interactive element to standard event menus.

All you need to get started is an ice cream machine, a blender and a strainer. Whip up a delicious batch for your next party and enjoy!
