The Dairy Show/Slow Food NYC Ice Cream Event is Sold Out

Thank you everyone who bought a ticket to the event for next week.  It is going to be great!  The money raised from the class will go towards supporting Slow Food NYC's educational programs for NYC public school students. 

Don't worry if you miss this event, there will be more.

Also, sorry for the long delay, but there will be fresh new episodes of the Dairy Show in September.

Tuesday Sept 1st See The Dairy Show Live On Ice . . .

Cream.  On Tuesday September 1st, Join Slow Food NYC and TheDairyShow.com in discovering where Ice Cream comes from. First we will explore its origin in time, as culinary historian and author of the book, Of Sugar and Snow: A History of Ice Cream Making, Jeri Quinzio, traces the story of ice cream from its beginnings in the 16^th century to today.

Then Ben Van Leeuwen, of Brooklyn based Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, will take a break from his retro yellow truck to show us how we can make ice cream at home and how he’s adapted that same recipe, using the best ingredients he can get, to make it on a large scale for his business.

We’ll end the evening with an ice cream social, where you will have the opportunity to try Ben’s Ice Creams and chat with Jeri about her book. (Books will be available for sale, cash only, and signing.) Proceeds from this event will help support the activities and programs of Slow Food NYC.

When: Tuesday, September 1 from 6:30pm-8:30pm

Where: Astor Center – 399 Lafayette Street (at East 4th Street), Manhattan (enter around the corner on East 4th Street)

Sky Full of Fish

Check out the latest video from Michael Gebert, writer, filmmaker, and creator of the blog Sky Full of Bacon.  Much like us here at The Dairy Show, he occasionally likes to venture away from the subject you might expect from the name of his blog.  In this video, Michael visits one of the country's largest fish distributors to show us how fish gets to our plates.
