Food and dining news of the week

170528 Atlanta, Ga: Cardamom-Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Stacy Wisniewski and Henryk Kumar of Butter & Cream in Decatur created this luscious-yet-light old-fashioned custard ice cream. Perfumed with vanilla and cardamom, it is heady and fragrant and feels just right for spring and summer We like it topped simply with toasted coconut, but you may add sprinkles, nuts, brittle or any other additions of your choice. For story on ice cream. It's the season for icea cream, as we consult with area chefs/resaturants/ice cream shops as well as new cookbooks on ice cream to find unique flavors and learn how to make ice cream at home - with and without an ice cream machine. All photos taken at the home of Wendell Brock on Sunday, May 28, 2017. Styling by Wendell Brock. (Photo by Chris Hunt/Special) for Wendell Brock story 060817icecream
