Using a simple five-minute base recipe, you can make the brilliant (Andrew Zimmern), astonishingly good (Ruth Reichl) flavors of the innovative ice cream gods (Bon Appétit) Salt & Straw at home. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE SEASON BY Eater - Delish - Epicurious Based out of Portland, Oregon, Salt & Straw is the brainchild of two cousins, Tyler and Kim Malek, who had a vision but no recipes. They turned to their friends for advice--chefs, chocolatiers, brewers, and food experts of all kinds--and what came out is a super-simple base that takes five minutes to make, and an ice cream company that sees new flavors and inspiration everywhere they look. Using that base recipe, you can make dozens of Salt & Straws most beloved, unique (and a little controversial) flavors, including Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Roasted Strawberry and Toasted White Chocolate, and Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. But more importantly, this book reveals what theyve learned, how to tap your own creativity, and how to invent flavors of your own, based on whatever you see around you. Because ice cream isnt just a thing you eat, its a way to live. Praise for Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook Making ice cream at home is already enough of a mental hurdle. . . .
