From the Author

I'll never forget my first taste of real, Italian gelato. Soon after I was married, I was fortunate enough to travel for several weeks across Europe with my husband and our close friends.  Our first night in Italy comprised of a gondola ride, pizza margherita, and two scoops of the most decadent coconut gelato I have ever eaten.  Since then, I've had more than my fair share of the frozen delight, and make it a point to sample new and exciting flavors whenever I find myself in any Italian city.  As research, of course!
Since beginning my food blog three years ago, I have experimented at great lengths with ice creams, sorbets and gelatos in my own kitchen, and have loved the results.  Everything from the simplest granitas, to fresh sorbets, to decadent ice creams, and of course, gelato, have been included in this book, as well as special chapters for vegans and those requiring sugar-free recipes.  You'll also find wonderful ice cream cakes, pies, and other spectacular frozen desserts here too!
It is my hope that you will experiment with my recipes, stir up your own childhood (or adulthood!) memories, and perhaps create a few special memories for your own children or grandchildren.  Buon appetito!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent September 21, 2012

By Mary loves Murder

Format:Paperback

I just love this. I'm a good cook, and have used and read a ton of cookbooks, including several about ice creams, and this is one of the best. This book covers ice creams, sorbets, gelatos, sherbets, and accompanying items like cakes, syrups, brownies, and fruits. The recipes aren't just variations on one formula, but have a variety of techniques and basic ingredients (heavy cream or coconut milk or tofu, etc.) The recipes are clearly written, so the beginner knows just what to do, and there are enough different kinds to give the experienced maker material, including some good flavor combinations and a few unusual twists. There are sugar-free and vegan sections. It's practically perfect! I had a copy home from the library, and have just put one in my Amazon cart - it's a keeper.

The Everything Ice Cream, Gelato, and Frozen Desserts Cookbook: Includes Fresh Peach Ice Cream, Ginger Pear Sorbet, Hazelnut Nutella Swirl Gelato, ... hundreds more! (Everything Series)I was super impressed by the vast varieties of ice creams, gelato, ice cream cakes and more. Not only is there your typical vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors, Susan has an amazing Dreamy Orange Ice Cream that is reminiscent of those childhood favorite dreamsicles, artisan flavors plus classics like Butter Pecan. I highly recommend this cookbook for yourself and for gifts. My mother and mother in law both have June birthdays and this is what they are getting. I know they will love it as much as I do. Ice cream is the chosen dessert at my house with my husband and three boys and I look forward to trying every single recipe!
