I managed to get tickets to attend two of his gelato lessons this weekend and totally understand why he is so different from the gelato store elsewhere - its all about quality!!!!

The way they store their gelato - its all covered, they don't care if it doesn't look fancy or colourful, because he wants to retain the best flavor and texture of the gelato made ( just like you won't leave your bread/ overnight food uncovered in the fridge to prevent freezer burn and other stuff

They also used REAL stuff to make their gelato instead of mixing commercially available powder and milk.


Pic 1 - caramel they made from scratch
Pic 2 - Amount of mango used to make 4L of mango sorbetto - 1.6kg
Pic 3 - Traditional Spatula James used to scoop out gelato from machine -
Pic 4 - Process of blending chocolate powder and milk base before making gelato - takes very long, up to 4 hours if he is making chocolate sorbetto
Pic 5 - Chocolate beans he used to make 45% milk chocolate, 65% old fashioned chocolate and 99% dark chocolate gelato

布小熊 - the free class i attended last wednesday only has 6 people (supposedly 8).  I am sure there are people who got the tickets for lessons who can't make it in the end just leave it.  The class goes until July as far as I know so Do leave a message on his facebook page/ twitter and see if anyone is giving away their tickets.  I am sure if you are crazy enough to talk to James and say you will sit and wait there every single night and waitlist for the gelato 101 he will just grab you in! He loves crazy people XD

Fibbi - yes not all flavor works for me (e.g. the Akbar Mashti flavor, its pretty much tasted like soap/ cosmetics to me, but Persian loved them and thats the only flavor they eat during Persian new year, which is two days ago).  Do try the 99% chocolate gelato, that is a very rich and not so sweet flavor

    When James initially launch the program it was free (all gelato 101 classes are free indeed).  Then when he adds more specialty classes with a charge ($20), it still sells out but at least everyone showed up.  Show him your craziness and get your butt in his kitchen !!
