Notes about this book

  • IvyManning on August 15, 2013

    The first half of the book is creative ice cream and sorbet recipes, the second half is cocktails made with ice cream that I'll never make because the idea is just so...dumb. The pistachio ice cream came out a bit bland and the pumpkin ice cream was a bit watery tasting, so I'm not sure I trust the recipes, yet. More importantly: Shame on whoever did the layout of the book, with all the different fonts and terrible kerning, one gets a headache just paging through it! Awful book design, just awful.

    The Ice Creamists is the best kind of cookbook, one that allows you to borrow the hat of the creative mind that authored it. ...all photographed in eye-popping displays.

    ...beautifully shot and designed, and even if they're generally not that groundbreaking the recipes do work – they're just a bit overdressed.

Publishers Text

Infamous creators of the Sex Bomb and Baby Googoo - The Icecreamists are passionate about ice cream and the business of sin. Drawn to the mix of childhood fantasy and adult indulgence, The Icecreamists achieved instant notoriety with their breast milk ice-cream in 2009. With a rich variety of both summer and winter treats, The Icecreamists have become the by-word for cutting edge flavours and creations. This is where ice cream meets cocktails with concoctions including the vodka-infused Miss Whiplash and the Molotoffee Cocktail, as well as the devilish Toast Mortem. The Icecreamists's closely-guarded recipes are revealed here for the first time in simple, easily lickable recipe formats so you can recreate the authentic experience at home.
