I had always thought that once you grew up you could do anything you wanted — stay up all night or eat ice-cream straight out of the container.
I was delighted to hear from Sean for CSN Stores the other day asking if I’d like to do a home decor or kitchen accessories giveaway for readers of Passionate About Baking from the US and Canada. YES PLEASE!! I could choose something from counter stools or cookware from any of the CSN Stores. Of course I had to choose something form the ‘cookware‘! This giveaway offers me an opportunity to thank you for stopping by, and for taking the time to leave a comment and say wonderful things.
Have you had a look at the CSN Stores? CSN Stores LLC is a fast-growing, privately-held company offering customers the best online shopping available for home and office goods. A $200 million company, CSN is made up of more than 200 online niche shops offering a huge selection of products ranging from barstools and bedroom sets to grills, greenhouses and gaming equipment.

With summer here, I thought either the Cuisineart Ice Cream Maker or Delonghi Retro Panini Grill would be a fun giveaway. I loved both of them, so thought I’d offer you a choice. Suggestion: With the grill, you can start with a several array of delicious panini sandwich recipes .
To enter the giveaway please leave a comment on this post before Sunday, April 24th, midnight your time, and let me know which of the two items from CSN Stores you’d like to win. Tweet about this giveaway for an extra entry leaving a comment for each entry.
Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2 Qt. Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker – ICE-30BC
What’s better than a quart of luscious homemade ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt? Two quarts! The fully automatic Cuisinart Pure Indulgence makes 2 quarts of your favorite frozen desserts or drinks in as little as 25 minutes. It’s easy, an integrated motor, double-insulated freezer bowl and automatic mixing paddle do all the work. Results are consistently smooth, cleanup is easy, and the brushed metal styling is simply sensational.
Make great tasting, restaurant-style grilled sandwiches in the comfort of your own home! This product features a double-sided non-stick grill that cooks from the top and bottom for fast, even grilling. Adjustable thermostat for grilling and toasting allows for easy operation and the temperature range window lets you easily view the precise temperature for perfect customized grilling and toasting every time!
Like all good things come to an end, so has the strawberry season in our neck of the woods. It’s been better than any season before, and we’ve been spoilt silly by these luscious berries. Now it’s time to dig into the reserves and use the frozen ones! With the mercury almost hitting 45C very early in the season, this luscious eggless strawberry ice-cream was absolutely sensational.
Quick Strawberry Ice-Cream was music to my ears when I first saw the recipe in INDULGE – 100 Perfect Desserts by Claire Clark This gorgeous book that I received to review from Blogger Aid is one of the most special ones on my bookshelf, and if offers a variety of desserts from very involved to very simple. Each recipe has trivia attached to it, and Claire Clark extensively uses fruit in her desserts… that is something I love. If I were to own just one book on desserts, this would be my choice!
About the recipe, the author writes, ” One day when I was teaching at Le Cordon Bleu, my friend and fellow pastry lecturer, Matthew Hardy, was in the basement , busily prepping for our ice-cream demonstration the next day. I was shocked to see him making strawberry ice-cream without any eggs, and was convinced it wouldn’t be as luxurious as my recipe. I was, however, pleasantly surprised, as it was every bit as rich and creamy as mine.Whenever I make a fruit ice-cream, now, whatever the flavour, I use this recipe.”
I adapted the recipe a little as I had just made fresh mascarpone for something and looking through Indulge had a a change of heart. I just HAD to make ice cream. but had used my last batch of cream to make mascarpone. The recipe is QUICK as it says. I used vanilla sugar, and the only extra ingredient was a tbsp of vodka. By all means go the double cream way as that might be easier for most of you. It’s a delightfully creamy ice cream and just right for summer. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, this giveaway just might win you one!
Note: I added a tbsp of vodka. This doesn’t change the taste, but helps keep the ice cream from getting rock hard.
The pictures are so beautiful of your strawberry ice cream. I am certain that it is over the top delicious with the mascarpone cheese!
If I could choose anything from CSN, it would be a new Kitchen Aid mixer. Mine has started to make a noise that we cannot fix! From your giveaway, I would be happy with the ice cream maker. Mine is past it's prime.
Hi Deeba,
I absolutely love your blog! Made the Strawberry Ice cream last evening…. I used Whipping Cream instead of Mascarpone though. Couldn’t wait for my hubby & son to try it and finally, this afternoon, we all had it & the verdict was unanimous ….. the ice cream was luxuriously smooth and super yummy. Thanks Deeba, for posting this amazing recipe. It definitely is a keeper! From CSN I would go with the Panini Grill.
Thanks again,
Uma 🙂
Hi there, What is the name of the plant(pink flowers) you have in this pic? .Lovely blog.

Beautiful pictures. If i win, I would love to have ice cream maker
Hi Deeba.
I have been a fan of yours for a very long time. I check it everyday, just haven't left any messages or comments until now.
I am just in love with the way you bring everything together in the blog – the recipes, the cooking process, the pictures. You are awesome. Did you ever imagine when you started writing this blog that you would one day be world famous?! WOW!
I loved pics in todays post. Makes me want to make the ice cream. Sadly, I don't have an ice cream maker (hint hint) :-(. Nor for that matter do I have a panini maker..sigh.
But please do not think that greed is the motivation for finally posting a message today. Well maybe 5% greed. But the remaining 95% is true admiration for you.
Keep up the good work, Deeba!
Regards,
Shobita
Lovely pics…Wish I could grab a scoop. Its beginning to look a lot like Summer at my end, so I would definitely like the Icecream Maker.
Am going to try making this recipe with what I could.
Yummmm…Marscapone is one of my favorite ingredients to bake with lately, I can't imagine how good it is in ice cream!
I think if I could win one, I would choose the Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker. And the first thing I would make would be your Strawberry Marscapone Ice Cream!

I also tweeted!

Woohoo!! Awesome.. been eyeing an ice cream maker for a while… :))) err, so I want one :DDD
will tweet as well..
Aside from the giveaway part, imagine the mascarpone adds such creaminess to the ice cream!! YUUMMY! So, do all the neighborhood kids hang out at your place?
Great giveaway!
That ice cream is fantastic! MMmmmhhh, I am craving some now!
Cheers,
Rosa
Ooh, I'd love that ice cream maker. I've been eying David Liebowitz's bacon ice cream for a while now…
HI Deeba,
I am avid fan of yours.. I check everyday but have never left a comment. Your passion for food reflects on everything you make..
I never win anything but would love the Icecream maker…
Delicious Icecream, can I have some….
Thanks
omg LOVE the pretty pictures! Great giveaway idea! I'm a student in med school and between the hectic schedule and class, I survive on sandwiches and the panini grill brings back memories of waking up at like 5am to go help at my grandparents cafe in downtown Vancouver!! If I won the giveaway, I would LOVE the panini grill!!
I love your pictures and would love to make this icecream. I would be happy with either one. The grill might be safer weight wise but I could have a blast with the icecream maker. ;o)
Oh my, but the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker would be the one for me!
Thanks,

I'd love the Cuisinart ice cream maker, just in time for fresh fruit sorbet, gelato, and ice creams all summer!!!
Thanks for the chance,
Dan
Hi, again. I tweeted about this, too: http://twitter.com/IslandEAT.
Thank you very much.
islandeat@gmail.com
The pictures on your site always make my mouth water!! This ice cream looks heavenly and I love that it doesn't contain eggs. I've been looking for such a recipe for a long time. I must get a copy of 'Indulge'.
The Cusinart ice cream maker would be my choice.
satvi8[at]gmail[dot]com
Hi!
I make a lot of homemade ice cream and usually use my Thermomix to whip it up in 30 seconds. However, when I make a custard based ice cream, I often need the ice cream maker. I have used and tested a myriad of them – all made for home use, and this one is the best.
I have two of these. One was a gift and I already had one. Often I use them both at once when I am preparing for a summer party and making a few flavours. Should I get randomly chosen, this would go to my daughter in Palo Alto. That would be SWEET!
I love your photos. Gorgeous. We have just had the first few warm breaths of Spring up here in Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) – late this year, and it is making me very antsy seeing your Spring is in full bloom!
🙂
Valerie
Ice cream looks so very tempting Deeba! Psst.. when will there be a giveaway for Indian readers:-))??
I am glad that you love the Indulge cookbook Deeba. It seems that is was the perfect choice for you. My dad is a vegetarian so I will pass this eggless version of icecream over to him…although if I had the ice cream maker I could try it myself:D
Honestly, I'd love to receive a bowl of this luscious ice cream as a prize! Your photos as such a delight.
As I already have an ice cream maker (though not nearly as fancy as this one), I would love the DeLonghi Grill. What a great giveaway!
tanglednoodle@gmail.com
I tweeted this post! 😎
Ohhhhh me me me! LOL I would LOVE to have the ice cream maker. I just broke the handle on mine 🙁
Deeba – as usual the photos are gorgeous and make me want to eat the screen! How in the world did you take so many gorgeous photos without the ice cream melting! 🙂
I retweeted the contest too! 🙂
Love the ice cream. Your photos always amaze me! I love all kitchen gadgets/appliances, but the grill looks really nice!
For as much as I bake you may never know… but ice cream is my favorite dessert!! I would LOVE to have the ice cream maker! Strawberry season will be in 1-2 months here and I will definitely be trying some of those strawberry recipes then!
I'd love the ice cream maker! The pictures of your ice cream inspired me.
I LOVE homemade ice cream, bought an ice cream maker last summer. So I'd have to go for the panini maker!
Delicious ice cream there!
Those are the yummiest pics ever! And so much pink and red. Love it! And this recipe will be going in my ice cream maker as soon as it stops raining – or maybe not. If I am stuck in the house I'm afraid the ice cream would be gone in a heartbeat! I have a Cuisinart, so if you would like to give me the Panini Grill, I would love it just as much!!
Ice cream!! Your recipe looks lovely and I have forever wanted to try making my own. For whatever reason (mostly because I'm too stingy), I have yet to take the plunge and buy an ice cream maker. It would be fantastic if I won 🙂
Beautiful colors! I love that it is strawberry season, also that ice cream season is near. I wish I had an ice cream maker, too, to make my own…would love the cuisinart ice cream maker 😀
Yummy icecream , recipe and pic 🙂 Today I watched icecream making video on barney show and I was so tempted to try making icecream on my own.Now after seeing your QUICK STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE ICE CREAM I want to try for it for sure.I love Cuisinart products they are very user friendly and high quality products.My kids and I would be delighted if I win this contest.
Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!!

Hello
I would love to win the ice cream maker. I am hoping to start selling organic ice cream at our local farmers market and need practice , this would be just the ticket.
Thanks
love your blog
Mark
Your ice cream sure looks heavenly, Deeba! My kids gave me an ice cream maker (the kind you put in the freezer) for Christmas and I am making rhubarb ice cream today. I'd love to try your recipe this week. Have never heard of an ice cream without eggs!
And I'd love a "real" ice cream maker so I don't have to take up my freezer space with that huge container!
Super giveaway!
Those photos are gorgeous. I think I'd prefer the panini press; at least that way, I could halfway convince myself that I'd be making something healthyISH.
Your photos are beautiful!
I would love, love, LOVE the ice cream maker!
Ah, beautiful as always, I've been planning to make my own ice cream since forever and I just got the exact Cuisinart ice cream maker for my bday a few months ago, yay! I'm eyeing on that gorgeous panini maker though, been checking it for a while now everytime i'm in store. Your ice cream looks GORGEOUS! very spring-like 🙂
Gosh that looks gorgeous! I've been thinking of getting the ice cream attachment for my KA mixer for ages so I can make some ice cream! I think I'd take the panini press though, if I won this giveaway 🙂 Just so I can justify buying the attachment!
This looks amazing and sounds fantastic. Marscapone ice cream-wow! Can't wait to try it.
Gorgeous photos! and this ice-cream is mouth-watering!
Hello Deeba,
This month your posts were full of strawberry treasure that you looted on your trip to Pune.With the onset of summers(especially in and around Delhi)When mercury is soring high,photos on your post of ICECREAM BELLE dressed in pink is giving a cool effect.This coolness has increased with your giveaway offer of Cusinart Icecream Maker.Now I can dare to experiment with your icecream recipes. Love .Abha
man CSN stores are rocking the blogging World
love this ice cream and as ever lovely photos
Rebecca (not Rachel he he he LOL)
The panini grill would be amazing 🙂
I have the Ice cream maker. Works great. The sandwich press is what I have my on. Gorgeous pics!! syntazticfatgmaildotcom.
Those gorgeous strawberries you have look amazing!And the color of that icecream says 'spring' to me! I would love to be able to make my own icecream with an icecream maker. : )
and8754@truman.edu
The recipe looks scrumptious. The giveaway is terrific. I'd be thrilled with either item!
I love making eggless ice cream and I happen to have a container of mascarpone in the fridge. This looks so delicious that I may be giving it a try this week. : )
What a fun store. I'd love to get one of those blenders with the glass pitchers. Mine is plastic and I really need to upgrade.
That panini press is great too! I can picture a summer's worth of sandwiches coming out of that.
Thanks for the chance to win.
The ice cream maker looks awesome!!!
I am drooling only looking at your icecream. But, mine is almost done churning so I will eat it with more excitement now.
I would go with the ice cream maker as mine is pretty old now.
My daughter would LOVE this recipe. She is a strawberry connoisseur. But seeing as how my husby is a sandwich maker, the panini press would be great! Thanks for the chance to win something awesome. And thanks for sharing your beautiful images.
what a great looking recipe! what a nice giveaway! you're wonderful!
if i were to win, i would definitely pick the ice cream maker… just the thing to make tasty summer treats for my family!
thoughtful_wiccan at hotmail dot com
Thanks for being here. Boy, I would really like to see the panini maker sitting on my counter. We are a sandwich loving family.
Hi Deeba,
have been admiring your blog from several days . I posted once on your pune trip as i am from pune originally .
Strawberry ice cream is my favourite and yours – is sinfully Divine -can tempt anyone to raid the fridge and eat spoonfuls hideously or loose sleep if one cant devour a bowl ..lol.
I have always wanted an icecream maker ..hope my wish comes true .
shirleychulani@hotmail.com
Deeba, you are such a great artist/photographer. All of your photos are so beautiful and the colors just pop. I love it.
If I were lucky enough to win – it would be the ice cream maker…for sure!

Hey Deeba.
I had posted my message yesterday (comment # 7). But forgot to include my email and to say that I am eligible for the contest.
So here goes..

By the way, have you personally tried out these two appliances?
Shobita
eggless ice cream! you are my hero, i love ice cream and well sweets for that matter but eggs don't work too well with me. can't wait to try this recipe. i would try it sooner if i had a cuisinart ice cream maker 😉
This Ice Cream looks divine! I can't wait to try it. I don't have an Ice Cream maker, and the one that you have mentioned sounds fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh my god, that strawberry ice cream looks divine! Too bad I don't have an ice cream maker… *wink wink nudge nudge* 😉 Seriously though, an ice cream maker would be a godsend to my poor little wrists that get so tired from hand-mixing my homemade ice cream! 😀
But my goodness, what a terribly sad quote from that Bill Bryson fellow! Does he mean to say he *doesn't* eat his ice cream straight out of the container? I hope for his sake I'm just reading it wrong. Everybody should stay up late and eat their ice cream from the box! 🙂

What a great blog and the ice cream looks so yummy but since I have an ice cream maker the panini grill would be so awesome.
Just found your site today through Tastespotting. The ice cream looks delicious. I have been on a bit of a strawberry kick lately. I would love the ice cream maker as mine is on its last legs and I don't know what I will do if it dies. Thanks for the great post.
The ice cream looks delicious. I saw it on Foodgawker and came to your blog. I would love the ice cream maker. (Actually I would love to own both items, but the large ice cream maker is far in the front on a wish list!)

Strawberry ice cream is my favorite. I can only imagine what a wonderful addition marscarpone must be! I'd loved to win the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence ice cream maker.

I have been looking for an eggless ice cream recipe and yours looks delicious. I would love the ice cream maker.
I can not WAIT to try this recipe (just as soon as it is strawberry season: It would be a pity to use the bland berries available now in the supermarkets)! I'll bet this would also be good with blueberries or blackberries or…!
Would LOVE to win a yogurt/ice cream maker. Pick me! Pick me!
I'm out of the running as I'm outside of US and Canada but I just wanted to say that I always love the styling on your posts! Just so gorgeously pretty! 😀
Great looking ice cream. Will have to try it for sure. Thanks.
Awesome give away as well. Would love to win the panini grill.
First of all, I am in love with your photos. I want to live in those photos, they scream spring. Secondly, I have a list of 101 goals to accomplish in my lifetime and one of those goals is to host an annual neighborhood ice cream party. Homemade ice cream is my one weakness, and having just made my own mascarpone cheese for the first time this ice cream is one I will be making as soon as possible! Having that beautiful ice cream maker would sure help. Gorgeous photography, I am extremely impressed. adrienne.d.peterson@gmail.com
Oh my goodness! I just found your blog and am in love already! Your pictures are breathtakingly beautiful– such nice composition of color and space– and detailed recipes with commentary. And I would love to have the chance to win one of your giveaways!
ptyeh91@gmail.com
Delicious looking ice cream! Thanks for the vodka tip! I am going to have to implement that at work.
I have to say, I do like Cuisinart machines. I used another of their ice cream makers at work almost daily. I posted about two of the test recipes that were great (but didn't make the dinner menu) –
http://melecotte.blogspot.com/2010/04/donut-ice-cream-two-ways.html
and
http://melecotte.blogspot.com/2010/04/buttermilk-thyme-ice-cream.html
So, not only does it produce tasty treats (great lil' recipe book with the directions), but is holding up really well, too! (I even put the bucket thing in the dishwasher once…whoops!)
Phew! Long comment – sorry. I would enjoy either machine!
You wouldnt believe it, i too was planning to prepare strawberry icecream with mascarpone! you read my mind! Would love to win the ice cream maker perfect for the season, can i give a US address? a friend is coming down from there, might just work out 😀
I can't wait until I can get fresh strawberries at my farmers market. Will definitely try this recipe.
Would love to win a panini press! Thanks for the giveaway!
It's so tempting, even in the middle of night….if I could just grab the bowl…nice giveaway….if I win I would love to have panini grill, I love panini sandwich….
spicebuds@google.com
I would looooooove an ice cream machine!
Thanks for the great post!

Hail to the strawberry genie. Another lovely recipe. I'd like to put an end to the freezing whisking freezing and whisking again scenario everytime I undertake to indulge my icecream monsters at home. Enough said, I'd love the icecream machine. Thanks for this opportunity. Angela

I would love to win the ice cream maker! I have been DYING to try making ice cream at home. I have visions of caramel-swirled vanilla… mmmm.
i just made some eggless strawberry ice cream earlier this week – unfortunately, without an ice cream maker my results weren't spectacular. would love to try again with that lovely prize!
nice blog!
I would love to win the ice cream maker but I hope I can gather enough courage to try to make this wonderful ice cream. I am an amateur cook and your blog keeps blowing me away every time I take a peek. Your one-of-a-kind blog is an inspiration and a great matter of pride to all Indians around the world.

Oh Wow! I would go for the ice cream maker so I could make Lactose free ice cream for my fiancé!
Hi Deeba, Just realized my comment went as Anonymous (non-blogger) and didnt have my email ID. Its the comment on April 19 at 11:02 and is up there between another anonymous and Schmidty.
The drool was for the Icecream maker. Thanks Angela

Deeba, this looks awesome! I feel like licking the screen! I can't wait to start making ice cream again soon and will give this recipe a go.
I would definitely want to win the ice cream maker. I've been wanting that model for a while now, and we already own a panini grill!
Must. Make. That. BEAUTIFUL Ice cream. Sigh. And of course an ICE CREAM MAKER would help huh? Looks delish and is definitely on my to do list this summer. Mmmmmm.
I would LOVE to win the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2 Qt. Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker-just in time for summer!!
tigpooh1516"at"yahoo"dot"com
Trust u to take such fantastic photos that it's made me crave strawberry ice-cream … and that's not even a flavor I'd usually go for! Btw, hope u can help me with this … what can I sub for alcohol when I make ice-cream?? I know it helps to make it less hard, and I want that, but hopefully without the vodka!
As for the giveaway, my vote's on the panini maker, since I already have a Cuisinart ice-cream maker.
Would love the icecream maker. You know where to find me when I win!
I've been wanting an ice cream maker for forever!! CSN Stores is fab! ☺

Hi Deeba!
I came across your blog again I have bookmarked it to keep getting some of the best recipes from you! I am newly married and what other way than to bake fabulous recipes to make HIM happy! All the very best to you and may you excel in this field.
I am a working engineer and in a year or so…I will also be known as S-a-h-m. I love the way you say " Mad about baking" thts a typical trait we scorpions are !
Thank you so much!
and lots of love!
I love your yoghurt and fruit icecreams, so I'll have to try the marscarpone version. It sounds like an excellent use for your strawberries!
I'm thrilled about the idea of making ice cream *and* sorbet this summer!
The ice cream maker for sure!I love Ice creams and so does my entire family. Ive been meaning to buy one for ages but never got around….but if i win this giveaway i wont need to!

I love you blog. And would love to get the ice cream maker. Thanks. neetaroy@hotmail.com
I'm not eligible for the give away in the UK but this pink ice cream looks absolutely gorgeous, I really must start making some myself, I've not done any since the mince pie flavour one in January!
O give away the ice cream maker! That'd be wonderful, i've been needing one since forever. Although I don't live in the US or Canada, good luck to the rest! x
I LOVE ice cream so your post is absolute torture! the Cuisinart ice cream maker giveaway sounds amazing and I would love to win it.
I'm off dairy since my son seems to have a milk allergy that I'm praying he'll outgrow and in the meanwhile I'm looking for dairy free recipes, sherbets, soy milk based ice cream etc. Hope you'll post some dairy free recipes or substitutes and alternatives on your deliciously gorgeous blog 🙂

We don't have an ice cream maker yet but I would love to have one. This post looks delicious and beautiful. If I chose to have 2 things from the CSN stores I would choose the ice cream maker and some landscape solar lighting. Great post! gasweetheart211[at]netscape[dot]net
Oh my so many comments in the short while since I posted my comment!
Oh well, keeping my fingers crossed for the ice cream maker!
Just tweeted about the giveaway on http://twitter.com/magpiesrecipes
Well judging from the beautiful creation you made, I would hands down go for the ice cream maker!
Thanks for hosting!
What a wonderful giveaway. I found your site through Photograzing. I popped over to enter the giveaway. But I must say, your photography is gorgeous. Thanks for hosting!
Oh my goodness!!! I would happily take either, but the ice cream maker would be especially nice for summer. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway and your blog rocks!
Your blog has had me wanting to bake on a weekly basis. I for one do not know how you manage to bake such goodies as simply as I make my dal and curry! The way you decorate the goodies make it drool worthy for the readers since the "boy & girl" are the lucky one who get to actually taste it. Way to go Deeba! Would love to have the Ice Cream Maker!!

I would ,love to get my hands on this icecream maker and feast on fresh,creamy homemade icecream.
Hi Deeba,
Funny how for someone who stops by your site at least twice a week, i finally managed to write a comment because that was the condition for your giveaway !!! Was that the motivation ? Surely yes!!! But here is something else i want you to know. i am an amatuer baker who blogs very randomly but bakes with as much love and passion as you do. and while i may have been able to recreate many of your recipes in my kitchen to positive reviews, i have never been able to(and can never)replicate the luscious photography you whip up…i call it food porn of the prettiest kind…sorry about the term 🙂 (make sure the kids dont get to read my comment !!!) but honestly, i come to your website coz the delicious pictures make me salivate non stop. and then i try to recreate the recipes, only without a camera :)….so long story short, i think i prefer the panini grill since i make sandwiches so often and love them so much……
either way, please keep the pretty stuff flowing :)….you are an incredible woman to be whipping up this frenzy in an indian kitchen…love it !!!

I would go for the panini grill, if only to keep myself from making ice cream and sugar filled stuff all the time.
I <3 strawberry ice cream but strawberry mascarpone sounds divine! If I had to choose, I would pick the ice cream maker. It gets really hot here in Florida and what better way to cool off than with ice cream or sorbet?
I definitely want the ice cream maker.
I'd love to have the panini grill!

Thats one yummy killer – makes me long for the ice cream maker
I can almost smell the strawberries! I'd love the ice-cream maker, please.

One of each please. Well, if I have to choose, it would be the ice cream maker, I can do a makeshift pannini press. Great site, love the recipes, now let me got back to them 🙂
I would like the icecream machine !
Oh, my. Would love the ice cream maker. I love experimenting with flavors in ice cream form!
deeba, thanx for visiting my site and the lovely comment…i would love to have the panini press, if I did win!
Sistah! You didn't tell me about this and I've made it under the wire! Sunday afternoon and I'm wiping my brow. I'm crazy for an ice cream maker so yes please but I'd also choose a cool slow cooker. Seems perfect for me who needs help cooking more than baking!
Just retweeted, babes!
One of my best childhood memories is turning that hand crank on my grandmother's wooden bucket ice cream maker. And the taste …nothing like it in the world. I'd pick the ice cream maker if I won.
Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous ice cream maker!
I tweeted your giveaway:
