Gourmet Chefs Cook Up Flavorful Summer Fun: Natural, Handmade Ice Creams and Sorbets Now at Kitchen Table Cooking School

Posted on: Thursday, 11 June 2009, 16:09 CDT

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Gourmet ice cream on a budget? Yes, this is a tempting scoop for screaming taste buds, and not your typical ice cream. But Emperor Nero of Rome, credited with creating the first frozen dessert, would be pleased. The chefs of Kitchen Table Cooking School have entered the $11 billion retail ice cream industry with their unique gastronomic gifts: all natural, handmade, low fat, healthy fresh flavorful treats fit for a king or queen including Strawberry Basil Sorbet, Coconut Lime Sorbet, Banana Malt ice cream, Espresso Fudge Brownie ice cream (made with Zoka coffee), Mexican Chocolate ice cream, and Macadamia Nut Brittle ice cream. All go on sale today.

Emphasizing their renown for creativity and freshness (made daily in their kitchen with all natural ingredients), and focusing on flavor, Kitchen Table Cooking School/Espressole Caffe will offer new flavors monthly to highlight the ripeness of seasonal ingredients: berries for Summer, peaches, caramel apple, pumpkin and Stout beer in Autumn, Peppermint and Gingerbread in Winter. Each all natural sorbet or ice cream will be offered at Espressole Caffe: $2.50 for a single scoop, $3.50 for a double scoop, $4.50 for a triple -- less than other hand-made confections at Colorado creameries.
