I tried Ottolenghi's new ice cream — but what did my kids think?
This is because the chef who brought Middle Eastern spices, burnt aubergines and 27-step recipes to Britain's dinner parties has launched a range of supermarket ice cream.
Of course, there's nothing vanilla about Ottolenghi's heatwave-friendly frozen treats: even the Madagascan vanilla flavour is swirled with salted miso caramel. Then there's roasted pistachio and sour cherry swirl as well as coffee and cardamom.
They are £6 for a 480ml tub — a smidgen more than the close to £5.75 price tag for a tub of Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's — and will be sold in Waitrose from Monday.

The Cruise Room launches recruitment drive to free up owners to pursue 'new projects'
Asked if The Cruise Room planned to launch a homeworking division, O'Grady said: 'Never say never, but I don't think we'll do that at the moment. That's not really our USP. We think we're the only dedicated cruise agency on the high street in the UK. "We've got a lot of guests from all over the country, but our guests walk in. We've got a lot of first-time cruisers who need the right advice. That said, I reckon one or two of our crew [staff] could become homeworkers in the future."
