Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments (Hardcover)

From Publishers Weekly
Lebovitz, a former Chez Panisse pastry chef and author of The Great Chocolate Book, credits his "first and craziest, most insane summer job"— as an ice cream scooper at a soda fountain—with inspiring his lifelong devotion to ice cream. The author's 25 years of experience as a frozen-dessert maker are put to excellent use in this wittily written, detailed volume. Step-by-step photos and advice on selecting an ice cream machine will reassure ice cream amateurs. Experts and novices alike will appreciate tips for selecting the best citrus and creating unusual but complementary pairings (apricots go nicely with Olive Oil Ice Cream). An impressive array of flavors is available for the making, like Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream, Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, Fresh Fig Ice Cream and Pear Pecorino Ice Cream. Sorbet, sherbet and granita also are explored in depth, as are ice cream "vessels," such as brownies and crepes. Great photos and plenty of practical ad (more...)

The Book of Ice Cream and Sorbets (Book of…) (Paperback)

From Publishers Weekly
This is a straightforward collection of recipes reflecting the new sophistication of many ice cream lovers. Passmore covers the gamut of styles, from yolk-rich French vanilla and other custard-based ice creams to the fluffier styles she refers to as parfaits, and on to fruit sorbets, gelati, granita and even a nod to yogurt. There's also a selection of sauces, cups, meringues and other preparations to accompany the frozen dessert and instructions on how to freeze the dishes with and without a mechanical churner. Passmore exhibits a subtle British inflection, as shown by the toffee and gooseberry flavors she recommends as well as what sounds like a Cadbury barfruit-and-nut chocolate bombeas a substitute for Christmas pudding. The author's other recommendations for those not content with chocolate or vanilla: peach, peanut butter, Indian kulfi and piquant sorbets like honeydew and ginger or port and lemon.
