Shop Notes:
Ben & Jerry are the OG in creating rich, fun, and delicious ice cream flavors. There is a lot in this book to learn if you're an ice cream addict and want to get your fix at home. I think the strength of this book is that it can give beginners a straightforward and clear approach to mixing flavors and using base flavors to experiment without getting "too" exotic with ingredients and flavors. For those are who less novice, it's a primer on their development process and how to have fun in the kitchen.
Publisher Notes:
With little skill, surprisingly few ingredients, and even the most unsophisticated of ice-cream makers, you can make the scrumptious ice creams that have made Ben & Jerry's an American legend.
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream Dessert Book tells fans the story behind the company and the two men who built it from their first meeting in 7th-grade gym class (they were already the two widest kids on the field) to their "graduation" from a $5.00 ice-cream-making correspondence course to their first ice-cream shop in a renovated gas station.
But the best part comes next. Dastardly Mash, featuring nuts, raisins, and hunks of chocolate. The celebrated Heath Bar Crunch. New York Super Fudge Chunk. Oreo Mint. In addition to Ben & Jerry's 11 greatest hits, here are recipes for ice creams made with fresh fruit, chocolate, candies, and cookies, and recipes for sorbets, sundaes, and baked goods. The 90-plus authentic recipes are spiced with Lyn Severance's bright, quirky, full-color illustrations.
