Editorial Reviews
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 advice combine to make this an appealing and useful resource for the dessert aficionado. (May)

Customer Reviews
FANTASTIC ice cream cookbook!!!
If you own one ice cream cookbook, this should be it! All of these recipes are easy to follow and turn out great every time. To take advantage of the summer berries and hot weather, I most recently made the Raspberry-Rose Sorbet - wow, did my friends rave! And the chocolate recipe is out of this world, as are all the "mix-ins" like the croquant and peppermint patties. Super bon!
Awesome
Great recipes, nice background. Great variations on the Chez Panisse recipes, which until now I thought were the best out there.
Luscious cookbook
With lots of big photos, creative recipes, and detailed tips on ingredients and techniques, David Lebovitz's book is a winner. Not only are the ice cream and sorbet recipes to-die for, it also has suggestions for sauces, cookies, and other great companions to help you savor your homemade frozen treats.
