Now, in his first cookbook, he shares the wisdom that he's accumulated over a lifetime of obsessive study. From multiple takes on classics like vanilla (French! Bourbon! Burnt Honey!), chocolate (Salted! Sour! Bitter!), and strawberry (Smooth and Delicious! Chunky! 'n Cream!) to his own sure-to-be classic inventions, like Salted Caramel Pretzel, Charred Banana, Tahini and Jelly, and even French Fry, the recipes in this book will satisfy every taste. And, of course, alongside the flavors themselves are a plethora of sundaes, sauces, and more, giving home cooks everything they need to churn out professional grade ice cream at home.
