The Big Scoop is out…. David L’s new book The Perfect Scoop has been released!
Filled with incredible recipes for not only ice cream, gelato, sorbet and granita but also toppings, what David calls “vessels” to serve your ice cream in such as crepes profiterols etc and a wild selection of things to stir in when the ice cream is done!
Although in Italy I have no reason to make my own ice cream, I am seriously considering buying a machine to try some of his fabulous recipes.
If David’s dream is to be a glacier… I am there in a heartbeat!
I can immagine him behind the counter, like in the film Chocolat, telling you which gelato you are!
I was also very honored to have been a muse for 2 of the recipes…
My Sicilian Watermelon Granita became an incredibly beautiful popsicle foto in the book, serving it as a sorbet not a granita.
( David I want the molds!) and he recreated a recipe for one of my favorites from Chianti, the Pecorino cheese and Pear Ice Cream.
You can buy directly from David’s site or better yet buy the book at one of his classes in the states in June or a book signing!
Here is his calendar
I read through the whole book twice as soon as it arrived and you will too!
The beautiful foto’s will have you drooling.
I can imagine how sticky the pages are going to get with the egg yolks and sugar on them like my best pastry books.
I think I will foto copy the pages to cook from instead.
Thank you David… you have made out lives all a bit sweeter!
