Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I always thought ice cream was good, but then I had Salt & Straw. It made me realize that ice cream can be incredible. Ice cream can embody complex flavors that evolve across your palette has you eat them, and they don't have to revolve around what combinations of sugary treats you want to add to them. Sadly, I don't live in a state that has salt and straw, and after trying every highly rated local ice cream shop, I was disappointed to find them all to be uninspired sugary nonsense.So I set out to make my own ice cream, and though I am only a week into my journey, I am already making better ice cream than anything I have found locally. This book is full of tons of recipes (listed below), and while some of them sound strange, much of the strangeness is certainly not a novelty. The flavors are complex and mind blowing, thing's you'd never expect to be delicious are so. Anyways, this is an eye opening book, and Tyler talks a lot about what he learned from making these different flavors within the book as well, which is great for educating yourself for future experimentation. The flavor recipes in this book are as follows: The Bases: Ice Cream Base Sorbet (or Gelato) Base Coconut Ice Cream Base (Dairy Free) The Classics: Arbequina Olive Oil Stumptown Coffee and Burnside Bourbon Freckled Woodblock Chocolate Chocolate Gooey Brownie Xocolatl de David’s Bacon Raleigh Bar Dandelion Chocolate’s Roasted Cacao Bean Gelato Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper Pear and Bleu Cheese Double Fold Vanilla Roasted Strawberry & Toasted White Chocolate Salted Caramel Bars & Coconut Cream The Brewers Series: India Pale Ale Smoked Hefeweizen Hopped Farmhouse Ale Hopricot Gelato Imperial Stout Milk Sorbet w/ Blackberry-Fig Jam The Flower Series: Wildflower Honey w/ Ricotta Walnut Lace Cookies Honey Lavender Rose City Riot Grand Poppy-Seed Sherbert Dandellion Bitters Sorbet with Edible Flowers The Berry Series: Meyer Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Custard Black Raspberry Cobbler Fro-yo Goat Cheese Marionberry Habanero Foraged-Berry Sherbert Strawberry-Cilantro Sorbet The Farmer’s Market Series: Caramel Corn on the Cob Cauliflower Garam Masala Green Apple & Mayo Sherbert Roasted Parsnip & Banana Sorbet Aquabeet Sorbet The Student Inventor Series: Olde People The Kail Creeasheon Chocolate Sardines Skittles Rainbow Sherbert Stop, Guac, & Roll The Spooktacular Series: Amortentia Sorbet Essence of Ghost Creepy Crawly Critters Grandma Dracula’s Blood Pudding The Great Candycopia The Thanksgiving Table-to-Cone Series: Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Cranberry-Apple Stuffing Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey Pumpkin Custard & Spiced Goat Cheese The Holiday Series: Peppermint Cocoa with Homemade Peppermint Patties Gingerbread Cookie Dough Apple Brandy & Pecan Pie Butter-Roasted Chestnut Fennel Five-Spice Eggnog
