“You just want to keep the blender running all the time.” (Project Foodie )
“Ried goes further than anyone before him with his milkshake recipes: He writes about technique.” (Time Out Chicago )
“You’ll get the basics, but then the basics go ballistic: add tangerine sorbet to a chocolate shake; cardamom to a mocha shake; dark rum and cashew butter to a vanilla shake. . . . Serve shakes for dessert. They’re fast, festive and so much fun.” (Bookpage )

Absolutely needed a "kicked up" modern day milkshake book.
Shakes like: mocha-cardamom shake. So clever. Cardamom! Who would have thought this belongs right next to mocha in a shake.
Not only kicked up new creations, but old-fashioned ones like "Hal's Inauthentic Egg Cream", the "Rhode Island Coffee Cabinet" homage to the infamous Autocrat coffee syrup.
And of course variations on the old "black & white" shakes.
Adam also gives us cultural history and examples of shakes found around the world like: licuados, batidos, cholado....
Excellent book. Shakes you think of and shakes you learn about.

...if I'm gonna really use this book after looking at it. I mean, the simplest of recipes seems to call for a quart of ice cream for one milkshake! Really? I like thick shakes as much as the next guy, but considering the cost (both monetary and calorie-wise) of plopping that much ice cream into one shake, I don't know.
