Best of Gourmet, 1988: All of the Beautifully Illustrated Menus from 1987 Plus over 500 Selected Recipes

Random House - 1988
When I received my Gourmet magazine in the summer of 1988, I thought they were psychic when I saw their beautiful photo of this ice-cream bombe because I had just bought a melon mold at a thrift shop. It takes time but not much effort to make. You puree the cantaloupe and chill it in the fridge. While it is chilling, you put your mold in the freezer. Freeze the cantaloupe mixture in an ice-cream maker and when it is frozen but still malleable, spread the sorbet on the bottom and sides of your mold. Freeze the mold at least 1 hour before filling the cavity with store-bought vanilla ice cream and freeze the bombe at least 2 hours before unmolding and serving. Impressive and delicious.

When I received the Gourmet magazine in the summer of 1988, I immediately made this recipe and it was easy and delicious. The fact that the crepes used cornmeal appealed to this southern girl (remember it was 1988). The filling has all of my favorite things, sour cream, limes, hot and mild peppers, fresh corn. A perfect summer dish.
