This mouth-watering book is brimming with delicious
ice cream concoctions and iced wonders from the world of
Ben Vear, expert on frozen delights. Over 100 recipes
scale an impressive colourful rainbow of ice cream
flavours and iced treats, including a fantasia of
sorbets, gelatos, kulfis, lollies, frozen yoghurts,
parfait and desserts. From chocolate and caramel, to
citrus and berries, from botanical infusions, herbs and
spices to alcoholic temptations; Ben has a recipe for
every iced desire, including the best ways to transform
the humble vanilla scoop into a show-stopper. Old
favourites such as strawberries and cream and mint choc
chip are revisited with simple twists, and different
quirky flavours like earl grey, orange marmalade,
birthday cake, candied bacon, and Guinness ice cream are
alluringly refreshing. Easy step-by-step instructions
show how to make the perfect ice cream base from which
you can create your own experimental flavours. This
exciting ice cream collection is completed with Ben's
recipes for cones, nests and baskets. Lush, inventive
photography captures not only the artistry and fun at
the heart of Ben's kitchen, but also the magic and
wonder of ice cream in the most visually arresting book
ever published on the subject. The essential science,
ingredients and equipment behind ice cream are explored,
as well as a personal history of the ice cream dynasty
that Ben hails from.
Winstones is one of the UK's
longest running and most respected family ice cream
producers, founded by Ben's great grandfather Albert
Winstone in 1925 in the heart of the Cotswolds. All of
the ice cream recipes in this book remain true to
Albert's original base recipe, with flavours brought up
to date by Ben.
