Gelato Master In Barcelona

Now this is a post I've been meaning to write for some weeks! I think it will be one of the more exciting articles for regular readers of ice-cream-recipes.com.

Imagine if you can ....

• a family with more than 100 years experience of ice cream making
• authentic artisan italian gelato expertise
  
• a master gelato maker for more than 30 years
  
• gelato in barcelona
• gelato making lessons

There's only one person whose life and work encompasses these criteria - Rheya, an Italian living in Barcelona who has two of the most interesting ice cream blogs in the world.

These are:
http://italian-ice-creams.blogspot.com/ (English)
http://www.ilgelatobcn.blogspot.com/ (Spanish)

Rheya is a woman with a passion and knowledge of gelato that is on a level most people can only dream! Visit her blogs and you will see what I mean.

Rheya's experiences in Chicago for example is a great block of posts she wrote about what and who she saw there, how she reacted to the city and - of course - what she thought of the ice cream there. She even writes about the culinary school branch of the Illinois Institute of Arts in Chicago. Fascinating reading!

So for all you gelato lovers out there who have a little time over the Christmas holidays to do some online reading, you should visit Rheya's gelato making blog. Early in 2009 I will be writing a dedicated page about Rheya on ice-cream-recipes.com with lots more information - so revisit and enjoy even more. Happy reading!
