Every luscious flavor is grist for the chill in David Lebovitz's   ecstatic guide to the pleasures of homemade ice creams, sorbets, granitas,   and more. With an emphasis on intense and sophisticated flavors, an   international flair, and a bountiful helping of seasoned technique, this   collection of frozen treats ranges from classic and comforting (Chocolate   Sorbet) to contemporary and cutting edge (Mojito Granita). Spilling over   with scrumptious sauces, crunchy toppings, and surprising mix-ins, THE   PERFECT SCOOP transforms simple ice cream into a knockout dessert.]]>
