When I saw this title, a confectionery cookbook by Jeni herself, it literally gave me chills - not because I fear delicious, frosty treats, but because I absolutely adore ice cream! Doubt my devotion? Get the scoop from my mother, who would purchase countless cartons of coffee-flavored ice cream for my childhood summer breakfasts. This, my spoon-clutching friends, is not a drill. Among the drool-worthy photos in this hardback handbook to frozen fame, you’ll find recipes, techniques, and equipment tips for creating a sensational ice cream or sorbet from home. Organized by season so that the ingredients are always fresh, these flavors feature everything from ginger, goat cheese, and kona coffee to olive oil, grapefruit, and cayenne. Plus there are directions for the ‘Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream in the World,’ which sounds utterly amazing. With one hundred recipes for a delicious range of desserts, sprinkled with stories from Jeni and suggestions for personalizing your own pints, this book has me searching the internet for an ice cream machine. For the decadent and DIY-types alike, this collection promises to churn out smiles year-round. After all, there’s no place like ‘cone!’ - Chris, Fashion Writer
