A celebration of the world`s greatest chilled dessert, this book focuses on the specifically Italian origins of ices. Many would later claim ices as their own, but gelati, sorbetti, granite & many more sweet treats from the icebox all had their beginnings in Italy. Cornettos overloaded with softly melting scoops of flavoursome heaven did not occur by chance
- much went before
- tales that need to be told! The Romans brought down blocks of frozen snow from the slopes of mount Etna to store in grottoes & man-made ice houses during the dry heat of summer. The icy slush was flavoured with fruit & honey syrup & it wasn`t long before a lively trade in the new delicacy erupted amongst the fashionable nobility of the day. Soon everyone wanted ice; yet this was no passing fad & an enduring culinary legacy was born. As well as providing delicious recipes for everything from a divinely delicate pear & white wine sorbet to the most indulgent Zuccotto (a confection of chocolate, alcohol, cream & nuts), ” Ices Italia” explores the fascinating myths, true stories & historic events behind the scenes. Packed with stunning photography, easy to follow instructions (many recipes do not require an ice cream maker), & interesting asides, this book fully justifies ice cream`s reigning popularity as the world`s number one comfort food.
