Ice cream – scrumptious food! If I had my way, everybody would wear pyjamas, flip-flops and eat ice creams and hot dogs all day everyday. I also like to make my own ices, read on for a chance to win a visit from the Fairy Hobmother all will be revealed and it will make sense. If you are impatient just quickly look at the pretty pictures and get to the bottom of this post. So back to the delicious ice cream parlours I’ve been this Summer. Here are some of my favourites in no particular order:
London

Other flavours: strawberries and prosecco, custard, banana, pistachio from Sicily, Mango etc The fruit flavours are 50% fruit. No additives.

Now for a chance to win a visit from the Fairy Hobmother: Yes, she/he does exist!
Last Friday I got home from work to find a package on my door step. It was a fabulous ice cream maker. You see, the previous week I commented on a post over @fairiefoodtale blog, wishing an ice cream maker and, voilà! my wish was granted by Alex, my Fairy Hobmother, who’s been spreading joy all over the world and; for your chance to win anything at all just leave a comment detailing what you would like to win, why and some form of contact (i.e.: email*, twitter account, etc) if you don’t own a blog or a website. The Fairy Hobmother, aka @AppOnline, sells cookers as well as other kitchen appliances. However, you can choose any household appliance, kitchen gadget, books, garden furniture, hairdryer, or absolutely anything! even if they don’t sell it on their online shop. The Fairy Hobmother will be reading and choosing who will be the next lucky person(s) very soon. It could be you!!!
Almost forgot to mention Hot&Chilli has a facebook page so to get behind the scenes updates click here: ‘like it’ Thank You and good luck!
PS: I checked with Alex, the Fairy Hobmother, who has confirmed that the luck winner(s) can be anyone anywhere in the world!

A mouth watering post! I'm crazy about ice cream. The only problem is: where will be the first place to go and try it. I couldn't make up my mind yet.
I wish I have a pressure cook, it would save me time and allow me to appreciate my dinner. Usually is the other way round. Spend to much time preparing and so little to enjoy the food.
I love the blog, Congrat!

Excellent round up! Did you know that Gelupo now has a really cute ice-cream cart that you can hire for parties? I love Gelupo, but my favourite London ice-cream is Scoop's in Soho and Covent Garden.
What an awesome round up of ice creams places! You're clearly an ice cream lover after my own heart 🙂 Now I have my own maker I don't eat shop bought ice cream as often, but if I did I'd say Gelupo and Scoop rate pretty high.
Fe, so by the looks of it you're going to get a visit form the Fairy Hobmother! well done.
Carly, I saw the cart when it arrived just before the summer. I want one! So cute. I still have to visit Scoop's. My ice cream wish list is long….
Kate, I want to be your neighbour! I can be your guinea pig too. What a lovely site! I must visit Scoop in town
I would like Fairy Hobmother to give me a thermomix as a cook and caterer it would be very handy. Love the look of the blog too. Anneli B

Just found your blog via Bake until Scrumptious! Your cake looked absolutely amazing. I'm a big ice-cream fan and have been desperately trying to find recipes that DON'T involve a mixer. If I could have one it would make myself and my fella very very very happy indeed.

How fabulous! new readers and requests. Do let me know who won what.
Thanks R
