Think you know ice cream? 🍦 Think again. This week on Knead to Know, Gemma and Ami spill all the ice cream secrets nobody ever tells you — from what really happens behind the scenes at your local scoop shop (hint: most don’t make it from scratch!) to the big mistakes that turn homemade ice cream into a tooth-breaking block.
They cover everything from custard vs no-churn, why vodka (or vanilla) might be the best ice cream trick ever, how to keep fruity ice creams from getting icy, and even George Washington’s shocking ice obsession.
It’s messy, funny, a little bit boozy — and full of tricks you’ll want all summer long.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
