Summary: A Forever Summer Book for Cooks and Armchair Travelers
Comment: Lori's book is full of inspiration! Her recipes are easy and sophisticated, and the results I've had have been visually dazzling, too! I love all the mini-histories, anecdotes and international flavors she's included along with hundreds of facts, tips and mini-recipes. I'll be making ice-cream desserts all year long now!

Summary: THE ICE CREAM DOCTOR HAS ARRIVED!
Comment: Wowee! I love this delicious looking book. Lori Longbotham (author of Luscious Lemon Desserts) proves she is the queen of all desserts. There are so many wonderful sounding sweets in this great book (150 in all) it's hard to know where to begin-- but I'd start with the Sky-High Layered Ice Cream Cake, chockful of chocolate and hazelnut gelato, nutello--it's so simple yet so sinful (top it with marshmallow sauce, yummo!) Lots and lots of cool iceas so that are so easy even kids could make them (like the Snowballs, ice cream rolled in toasted coconut and drenched in hot chocolate sauce), miniature ice cream bombes and cookie sandwiches, sorbet pops...It made me want to quit my day job and open my own ice cream parlor. Really gorgeous photo and cool looking design--makes a great gift, especially for your friends with their own ice cream makers.

Summary: The Scoop: Much more than floats and sundaes
Comment: I didn't think I would be interested in a book on store-bought ice cream desserts but with the encouragement of my ice-cream-loving child I agreed to have a look. The second recipe in the book, gelato affogato (ice cream with espresso and Cognac) showed this was going to be much more sophisticated and delightful than what I thought. There are root-beer floats and chocolate milkshakes (hers is quadruple-chocolate!) but also scroppino (Champagne, lemon sorbet, and vodka) and sorbet terrine with raspberry sauce. Best are her sauces. They're ingenious, smart, delightful, and I've tried only a few. I recommend roasted strawberries and mangos with lime. Clementines with cardamom and cherry compote with balsamic vinegar will be next.
I loved Lori's lemon dessert book, but this one delights me just as much. My family thinks she's the best, and I agree.
