MICHELIN Guide Collaboration with

Matthew Kammerer is the Chef of The Harbor House Inn, a historic property on the Mendocino Coast built in 1916. He has been rewarded several accolades including a 2019 Food & Wine Best New Chef and multiple James Beard Award nominations. In October 2020, Matthew Kammerer received a Green Star award from the Michelin Guide to become “the first class of restaurateurs in America”.
For this collaboration he shares a recipe for Wakame Ice Cream Base. With its toasty, nutty, and slightly salty aromas it pairs really well with Rémy Martin XO.
“Every summer, our sea vegetables are hand harvested by the kitchen team in a sustainable manner to make sure year after year the crop comes back.”

Wakame Ice Cream Base
INGREDIENTS
500g milk
160g sugar
8 egg yolks
500g cream
1.5 ea gelatin
15g wakame

TO GRILL THE WAKAME:

Chill down and add the grilled wakame at a ratio of 6.5g per 350g of base to the mixture.
Steep the grilled wakame overnight.

Strain through a fine strainer and proceed with the manufacturing directions for your chosen ice cream maker.
