A friend had a social event with the best ice cream I had ever tasted. I couldn’t believe it was homemade. I asked where she got the recipes and she gave me the name of this book. When I first made my own batch, I was floored! It was phenomenal and had a texture and coldness I never imagined homemade ice cream could have. I spent all night looking through the book and marveling at the complex flavor pairings and the techniques the authors employ. If you are a ice cream enthusiast or just someone with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend this book!
