Book Reviews of Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments

Book Review: ice cream, yes...sorbet, no
Summary: 3 Stars

I've only had a chance to try two recipes from this book, the orange ice cream was excellent and it made the ice cream in about a half hour, once I had all the ingredients in the ice cream machine. You have to remember to pre freeze the bowl you're making the ice cream in, so that it turns out okay. The pineapple sorbet started out as a slushy and became hard as a brick in the freezer - it was tasty but you couldn't scoop it into a bowl or ice cream cone. I think I'll just use this book for making ice creams in the future.

Summary of Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments

Ripe seasonal fruits. Fragrant vanilla, toasted nuts, and spices. Heavy cream and bright liqueurs. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Every luscious flavor is grist for the chill in David Lebovitz's ecstatic guide to the pleasures of homemade ice creams, sorbets, granitas, and more. With an emphasis on intense and sophisticated flavors, an international flair, and a bountiful helping of seasoned technique, this collection of frozen treats ranges from classic and comforting (Chocolate Sorbet) to contemporary and cutting edge (Mojito Granita). Spilling over with scrumptious sauces, crunchy toppings, and surprising mix-ins, THE PERFECT SCOOP transforms simple ice cream into a knockout dessert.
