Kristina Gill: Citrus and Rosemary

Kristina Gill: Citrus and Rosemary

Usually by the time I get to the gelato shop down the street at the end of the day, there are only empty holes where full bins used to be. The last time I went there early, and found a panoply of flavors I’d never seen. I settled for the blood orange gelato solely for the color, because otherwise I would only buy hazelnut. Arrived at home, I wanted to have something else to go with it. I sorted through my assortment of cookbooks and found a rosemary loaf cake. Thinking back on a recipe I saw for a loaf cake with citrus and rosemary scented icing, I thought my gelato and the rosemary cake would work quite well together, and I was right. I do still have my doubts about how summery this flavor combo is, but for now I must turn my attention to saving a slice of cake before my husband devours the rest.
