Seth Greenberg's Brownie Crunch www.browniecrunch.com This August Salt & Straw introduces a new menu of flavors, a veggie-dri- ven exploration of ice cream's unex- pected possibilities. Working with its community of local farmers and producers the flavors push forward into a bold new frontier; slashing the arbitrary boundaries of veggies and ice cream, this menu explores the range of sweet, savory, earthy and re- fined. Each flavor features fresh, lo- cally grown ingredients. Flavors will be available for national shipping and at Salt & Straw locations in Portland and Los Angeles from Aug. 7, 2015 through Sept. 3, 2015. In Portland, Salt & Straw will be offering Green Fennel & Maple, Sugarcube's Chocolate Caramel Po- tato Chip Cupcake, Carrot Carrot Cake, Garam Masala & Cinnamon Cauliflower and Lemon Cucumber Sorbet. In Los Angeles, Salt & Straw will offer One-Thousand Herberts Sherbet, Carrot Watermelon Sorbet, Tomato Water and Ojai Olive Oil Sherbet, Green Fennel & Maple and Garam Masala & Cinnamon Cauli- flower ice creams. Los Angeles Menu One-Thousand Herberts Sherbet Puns always make the best ice cream flavors… One-Thousand Herberts Sherbet is a sweet play on a classic Italian combination of fresh parsley, basil, dill, mint and 996 other herbs! It's green in color, intoxicating in aroma, and playful in flavor. It's also a showcase for the wide variety of fresh, seasonal herbs available dur- ing a California summer. Carrot Watermelon Sorbet This glowing pink, carrot-based sor- bet is made very simply. Bright or- ange carrots and super-ripe watermelons are juiced and then put into an ice cream machine. Tomato Water and Ojai Olive Oil Sherbet Fresh tomatoes from southern California and the Central Coast are paired with a really phenomenal olive oil grown in beautiful Ojai Valley, which is known for its Mediterranean-like climate. Ojai Olive Oil Company's olive oil is fresh pressed and has a sharp, grassy flavor that perfectly cuts through the tomato's sweetness. Green Fennel & Maple Fresh fennel is slowly steeped in Vermont maple syrup. The maple syrup used in this ice cream is pretty special because Morse Farms in Vermont has been in the family for more than 200 years. Garam Masala & Cinnamon Cauliflower Dry roasted cauliflower adds a crazy deli- cious funk to the ice cream. To comple- ment it, Salt & Straw has prepared a unique take on Garam Masala by creating a blend of spices that both highlight the cauliflower-y-ness while also pulling out the lurking sweetness of this under-appre- ciated vegetable. Portland Menu Green Fennel & Maple Fresh fennel from Sauvie Island Organics is slowly steeped in Vermont maple syrup. On top of growing amazing or- ganic produce, Sauvie Island Organics runs a scholarship program that provides a yearly supply of fresh produce to fami- lies all around Portland who wouldn't otherwise have access to healthy food. The maple syrup used in this ice cream comes from Morse Farms in Vermont, which has been in the same family for more than 200 years. Sugarcube's Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake from Portland bakeshop Sugarcube is dense, dark, and beautiful with thick layers of chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, po- tato chips, and hand burned caramel. This flavor showcases that special cupcake in ice cream. Carrot Carrot Cake This flavor calls back the nostalgic flavors of the gooey cream cheese frosting on an old-fashioned grocery-style carrot cake to- gether with neon-bright, uber-fresh baby carrot ice cream that highlights a certain quality of carrot that is only available in the peak of summer. Garam Masala & Cinnamon Cauliflower While an unlikely ice cream combination, this flavor has become a favorite of Salt & Straw's product developers. Dry roasted cauliflower adds a crazy delicious funk to the ice cream. To complement it, Salt & Straw has prepared a unique take on Garam Masala by creating a blend of spices that both highlight the cauliflower-y-ness while also pulling out the lurking sweetness of this under-appreciated vegetable. Lemon Cucumber Sorbet This is a vegetable ice cream collaboration with the Portland youth-run farm called Food Works. Food Works is completely run by students from the age of 14-21 from all facets of the community. More than just a learning farm, Food Works is a center where kids can do internships, practice business and finance skills, and learn about healthy cooking and eating. Supporting these farms around Portland is part of Salt & Straw's mission. Find more information at www.saltand straw.com or call 971.271.8168.
