Italian Ice Cream: Gelato, Sorbetto, Granita and Semifreddi

Food historians believe that ice cream was invented in Italy in the 17th century and from there spread across the globe. Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that Italian ice cream is one of the world's tastiest treats. More than 75 traditional and modern recipes from the Italian repertoire are presented in this comprehensive collection. Basic recipes for cream- and fruit-based ice creams are provided along with more advanced recipes for such delectable desserts as straciatella and amarene. Lesser-known styles such as sorbetto, granita, and semifreddi are also covered. This sun-kissed collection from Italy is the perfect book for anyone with a sweet tooth.
