Scoop Adventures: The Best Ice Cream of the 50 States: Make the Real Recipes from the Greatest Ice Cream Parlors in the Country

I own several ice cream books but am always on the lookout for books that have recipes that are just different enough... This book fits the bill. The book is well laid out and the pictures are great (I always like to have a photo to go off of). There are 50 recipes for 50 states. About 30 of the recipes interest me. That's pretty good. I always hate getting a new recipe book to find only 2 or 3 of the recipes sounds like something I want to eat. I made the orange chocolate decadence today. I did notice that the custard never seemed to thicken like other ice creams I have made. Not sure what that is about, but it churned nicely and did produce good ice cream consistency. I do like the flavor (I didn't use the alcohol as it was optional), but if I make this again I may use the juice and zest of 2 oranges instead of just one. The orange flavor is there but its very light. If you didn't know this was orange chocolate I don't think you would pick up on it. I am going to make the brown sugar recipe in the next few days. Hopefully that will also turn out well. Something I appreciate about this book is that the majority of the recipes have, in my opinion, a reasonable amount of ingredients (less than 10) and most of the ingredients are things you can easily find at any grocery store. I ran across of few things that may need to be tracked down, but overall most things are going to be found anywhere. If I had to think of a con about this book I do feel the quality of the book itself is sort of cheap (I feel like the binding is really impacted each time I open it) so I'm a little concerned that this book might not handle regular wear and tear as gracefully as better made books. Overall I am happy with this book and would recommend it to folks who enjoy making homemade ice cream.

Did you ever buy a cookbook and think “I want to make some of this, others not so much”. This is the first cookbook I have ever purchased where I want to make EVERY SINGLE RECIPE. if you are an avid ice cream maker then this is a must buy for your stash.

I bought this as a gift for an 8 year old "ice cream buddy." Going to get ice cream is our adventure when we're together. This past summer we had the chance to get ice cream in upstate NY, Philadelphia, and Delaware. I bought this as a chance for him to dream about other adventures we can take.....and as soon as he opened it he told his mother that he needs to pack it whenever they go someplace new on vacation.

Didn't find many recipes that I would like to try.

This is an inspiring cookbook and travel guide for foodies with an ice cream habit! I'm all in on this one. I have never made ice cream, but I am thinking about trying it now. Maybe for a summer party? And I intend to visit as many of the places listed in this book as I can. This will be a go-to gift book for friends and family.

Phenomenal book. I am an avid ice cream maker. I make it almost daily. I love this book. The best Recipies from some of the best artisans all over the country. So many great ideas it made my head spin. Can't say enough good things. Best ice cream recipe book I've found in a long time. Beautiful pictures too.

This is one fantastic book! If you have never made ice cream before you will definitely be inspired to try it! Photography alone is reason enough to get this book. Recipes are unique and delicious! Wonderful addition to my cookbook library. Way to go, Lindsey

Great book. Actually went to visit one of the shops listed and chatted with owner about recipes. Love it.

This has some fabulous recipes for ice cream, a particular favourite is the Blueberry Mojito :-)It is an American book using cup measures but unlike most they do give ml and gram equivalents which is really usefulThe only frustration is no index listing the actual recipes, the book is divided into 'States' so you have to make notes as to where particular recipes can be foundIf you are trying to find an ice cream containing a specific ingredient then you need to trawl through the entire book which is a bit time consuming but I have to say worth it

Un libro muy completo con una amplia selección de sabores, para todos los gustos. Básicamente hay dos tipos de recetas de helados, los que llevan una base de crema inglesa y los que no la llevan.Todo viene muy bien explicado y las recetas son fáciles de hacer y con muy buenos resultados.Fotos de la práctica totalidad de las recetas.Un buen libro de helados incluso para quién es totalmente primerizo en estos temas.
