| I'm testing a recipe that calls for "light cream." Frankly, I had to look it up since I'd never heard of such a thing. For those ignorant souls like myself, it's cream whose milk fat content falls somewhere between half & half and heavy cream (18-30% fat). From what I can tell, it's not available here in Los Angeles. The cookbook author is from New England. So here's my question: Which of you ChefTalkers can easily find light cream in your markets and where do you live?

| The diary case at my local market has a couple of dozen pints; nice and cold, very fresh. I believe it comes to us out of Petaluma but not sure.

| OK. Let me change what I am asking: Which of you cannot find light cream where you live? And where do you live?

| its easy enough to just blend a little milk into some heavy cream. I would use Two parts cream to one part milk. The butterfat content should come in about right. Mix it gently. |
