PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This latest in the artisanal ice cream trend gives readers some notable trade secrets for making frozen confections at home. The team behind San Francisco's celebrated Bi-Rite Creamery is serious about taste, and their approach relies on high-quality ingredients, small batch production, and simple base techniques for ice cream and sorbet. The organizing principle of the book is flavor chapters are based on families of recipes such as vanilla, caramel, chocolate, coffee, tea, and so on. Each features Bi-Rite's versions of the classics, plus more elaborate variations, complementary baked goods and toppings. While ordinary chocolate ice cream recipes are easy to come by, the real value is in creations such as Chai-Spiced Milk Chocolate and Malted Milk Chocolate with Bittersweet Chocolate Chips. Throughout, the authors offer suggestions for serving (Pistachio ice cream makes a good pairing with Balsamic Strawberry]) and "making it your own" (Coffee can be spruced up with ground toffee or fudge ripple). The collection is rounded out with fruity ice pops, refreshing granitas, and smooth sorbets. While this is not the most comprehensive or groundbreaking book on ice cream, this book is a great primer for beginners. Photos.

Best ice cream
This book is amazing. I made the vanilla ice cream and baked the brownie recipe with it and it turned out amazing. The brownies were very good but salty; I followed every step of the way. I have no Idea why they came out like that.
Not for iBooks
Terrible formatting. Why would you publish this and not format it to read and feel like a proper ebook? I’m disappointed with the price tag, it doesn’t even have a proper index for quick turns to recipes... idk very disappointed. If it were $5.99 it’d be ok, but more money than The Perfect Scope, or Ample Hills and you have to double tap to read the page because the format is so small..
