Chef Matthew Kenney is propelling plant-based ice cream into the world of fine dining. Kenny’s plant-based Italian restaurant Baia in San Francisco, CA orchestrates a complex and exciting menu, giving Italian food lovers a top-notch meat-free dining experience. Kenney revealed recently that the restaurant is set to expand its dessert menu by adding dairy-free Cannoli and Budino ice cream flavors.
Baia teamed up with San Francisco food technology start-up Eclipse Foods to produce these fresh new flavors. Eclipse Foods creates plant-based milk that it calls “udderly indistinguishable from cow’s milk," made with cassava and ancient corn. The company explains that the similarities of this milk alternative mirror cow-derived dairy on a molecular level, meaning that the opportunities to explore non-dairy products are unlimited.
