Fro-yo girl here. I’m so thrilled that I stumbled into Cookbook Market earlier this year. Cookbook describes itself as a “neighborhood green grocer specializing in responsibly grown, super tasty meat + fish, cheese, bread, fruit, vegetables, coffee, chocolate, freshly prepared foods, & more.” Their housemade sandwiches are fantastic and they carry bread and pastries from the best bakeries in LA, like Clark St., Bub & Grandma’s, Gjusta, and Friends & Family. They also make some of their own condiments, broth, baked goods, granola, broth, pot pies, mac & cheese, hand pies, pasta, veggie burgers, etc.
Very recently, they launched a new line of housemade ice cream and frozen yogurt. The housemade pints are $12.50 each. There were only a handful of flavors (the shop is small, so the selection of everything is limited) and only was frozen yogurt.
Frozen lime yogurt: The froyo on top was firm and icy but not watery. The lime flavor was very tangy and pronounced – much tangier than most tart froyo that you find in froyo shops. The graham cracker crumbs were sparse. However, digging under the top layer, I encountered a softer, creamier core with an abundance of buttery, crispy graham cracker crumbs and lime rind. This core was sweeter as well. The bottom of the pint was firm and super tart again, like the top layer. Very interesting and super flavorful. I think I’m a fan but the uneven distribution of ingredients was unusual. I’d definitely like to try more flavors in the future.
Cookbook has two locations. I saw the froyo at the Highland Park location (not sure if the Echo Park one carries froyo).
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
