This simple, sweet recipe for pear strawberry sorbet was created by the Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts in Austin, Texas. Their school offers cooking programs in vegan, macrobiotic, ayurvedic, and raw / living food, with students from all over the world. Yes, a school where you can study dairy-free cooking specifically!
The Academy uses all-organic ingredients in this pear strawberry sorbet. If it isn’t within your budget to purchase everything organic, shoot for the strawberries first. They are a top pesticide fruit that isn’t peeled before using.
