Food historians believe that ice cream was invented in Italy in the 17th century and spread from there to France and the rest of the world. Whatever its origin, there is no doubt that Italian ice cream, or gelato, is among the best in the world. In "Italian Ice Cream", foodwriter Carla Bardi presents more than 75 traditional and modern recipes from the Italian repertoire. In the first chapter, Bardi has compiled basic recipes for cream- and fruit-based ice creams, plus a host of Italian favourites, from straciatella to amarene. Chapters two to four include fabulous recipes for the closely related but less well-known areas of Sorbetto, Granita and Semifreddi. This sun-kissed collection from Italy is the perfect book for summer!
