Focusing on dishes that highlight beautiful seasonal produce, Chef Marianne Lumb’s melon sorbet combines two of the world’s most famously revitalising edibles.
“The melons are at their peak in the summer, find the nicest ones you can. Start this recipe at least a day before you want to use it. You will need an ice-cream machine. if not, allow the mix to freeze in the freezer at the end of point 3 and then blitz it in a food processor and freeze again until firm.”
