The Perfect Scoop of Strawberry Sorbet
I've had this great book, The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz, on my desk for a few weeks now. I've been drooling over it every day, but it was either too cold for ice cream, or the ice cream machine wasn't ready, or I was just too lazy.

Sweet 'n' Creamy Caramelized Figs With Ricotta Mousse
