Sponsored Post – from the Sustainable Food Center

The summer heat is officially upon us… so what better way to cool off then with an ice cream class from the Sustainable Food Center?

Tickets are now available for the Sustainable Food Center’s “Making Homemade Gelato and Ice Cream” class on Thursday, July 27th from 6:30pm to 8pm at its headquarters on East 17th Street.

Owner and gelato-maker Alan Gwinner, of Austin Gelato Company, will share his secrets for making traditional Italian gelato. Using fresh, local dairy from Richardson Farms and local flavor ingredients from SFC Famers’ Market vendors, Alan will explain the science of making gelato and ice cream; give tips for sourcing flavor ingredients like vanillas from Mexico and Madagascar; and discuss the effects of both higher demand and climate change on sustainable production of natural ingredients.

And of course, if you attend, you’ll have the opportunity to make your very own gelato or non-dairy fruit sorbetto. Tickets can be purchased here>>
