To quote Twin Peaks’ Dale Cooper, “Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.” For Londoners demoralized by the city’s never-ending gray skies, Kitty Travers’s superlatively colorful La Grotta Ices make the perfect gift. The former St. John Bread and Wine pastry chef set up her company in 2006, specializing in “seasonal plant and real dairy” ice cream. She adventurously discovers exciting flavor combinations, including apricot and rose petal, chocolate and caper, and white peach and tomato. Produced in small batches and sold only at select spots, such as Peckham’s General Store and Shoreditch’s Leila’s Shop, tubs of La Grotta Ices are among London’s most wonderful culinary treasures. —Spike Carter
