Bake the Book: Buckwheat Honey Ice Cream

Desserts for Every Season flouts the convention that fall desserts = warm and gooey, and instead serves up a frozen treat that gets its earthiness from buckwheat honey. With a flavor not unlike molasses, buckwheat honey is an acquired taste to some, but we can't think of a better way to earn fans than by swirling it into ice cream.

Tips & Tweaks: Buckwheat honey can be found in many natural foods markets or ordered online. This is one of those recipes where the main ingredient makes the dish; so if you can't find it, it's best to keep searching rather than try a substitution.

As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Desserts for Every Season to give away.
