Eye Candy: White Peach and Opal Basil Sorbet

At a recent Beard House dinner, Tom Carlin served this white peach and opal basil sorbet as an intermezzo. Chef Carlin's dinner was an ode to the peach, and featured the fruit in every course.

Recipe: Peach–Basil Sorbet
Whether you love peaches or just need something icy to bust the heat, spin up some of this refreshing sorbet from chef Tom Carlin of the Gladstone Tavern in New Jersey. A generous splash of basil syrup adds an elegant twist, and while we used yellow peaches when we tested the recipe, we think that the mild and floral white variety could work even better.
Recipe: Chilled Tomato Soup with Basil Guacamole
When JBF Award winner Gavin Kaysen cooked at the Beard House earlier this month, he served this delicious tomato soup during the reception. Inspired by a recipe from Cooking with Daniel Boulud, this dish makes great use of the season's last heirloom tomatoes.
