Palate Cleanser
Choose neutral flavours, something with a clean, bright flavour that leaves little or no aftertaste. Neutral flavours usually work best for this purpose, but a menu with strongly flavoured dishes begs for a unique—and perhaps equally bold—palate cleanser. Experiment with your own menus and soon you’ll know enough to impress your friends and family with your culinary ingenuity.

Rockmelon Sorbet -  Poitou-Charentes in south west France
​

This only calls for four ingredients and is so easy to make. Chill your cantaloupe cubes before pureeing with a cold simple syrup and your sorbet will freeze up even faster. The texture is so light and smooth. Let it sit out for a few minutes after freezing solid before scooping, although, as far as sorbets go, this one is pretty easy to dish out. Serves 6
