Carrot Lemon Thyme Sorbet and Executive Chef Hector Morales's Gazpacho



Come Thursday, there will be plenty of familiar faces heating up Miami Beach. And we mean in the kitchen.

As celeb chefs such as Bobby Flay, Paula Deen and Rachael Ray flock to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE, you, too, can get a taste of the festivities, which run through the weekend. And you don't even have to leave your kitchen – just follow these recipes.

Carrot Lemon Thyme Sorbet

• 1 tbsp. lemon zest
