Sure, it's bold to go sinking our teeth into summer's delights so soon, but with these warm, languid afternoons coming out of nowhere and the promise of a candy-coloured plastic cup sampling Jock's various award-winning flavours, one sunny afternoon was all it took for a stern sense of winterish restraint to give way to sticky drips of coloured, mouthwatering muck.

With boutique ice creameries popping up with the same aggressive fervour as the sushi hand-roll merchants of the late '90's, it's tricky to discern the diamonds from the cabbages as far as sorbet seigneurs are concerned. But where, we ask, is the joy in eating a stack of ice cream scooped to the high heavens if it all tastes, well, kind of boring?

With one mouthful of Jock's Turkish Delight; a musky pink ice containing chewy, pea-sized, frozen rosewater jellies, matched with something seasonal like his cinnamon-laced chunky Baked Apple creation, we don't hesitate to crown the glace guru.
