Ice Kitchen: 50 Icy Poles

by Cesar Roden, Nadia Roden

Meet the hottest ices in town: 50 artisanal ice pops, lovingly made with fresh fruit and bursting with spices, herbs, coffee, chocolate, and nuts! Along with their unique recipes, authors Nadia and Cesar Roden—an aunt-and-nephew team—give fun techniques for working with molds, choosing sticks, creating stripes and swirls, suspending ingredients, and adding decorations. The lusciously lickable treats include Lemon and Ginger, Drenched Watermelon, Sweet Sherry & Raisin, Butterscotch, Minted Milk, Vietnamese Coffee, and (for the purist) a simple, delicious Chocolate.

I really enjoyed looking through this cookbook. There was quite the variety of flavors of ice pop creations! There were several creative recipes including Cucumber and Lime, Beet and Sour Cream and Cereal Milk, as well as flavors such as Milk and Honey, Rhubarb and Custard, Drenched Watermelon and Cantaloupe and Basil!

I also enjoyed seeing all the accompanying photographs and detailed instructions that were broken down into easy mangeable steps for each recipe.

Overall, I found this to be a fun filled cookbook, and would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to up their ice pop/popsicles game!

Het is hier helaas niet echt zomers. Nou ja, de temperaturen zijn er wel, maar het zonnetje zet niet echt door waardoor het een warme soep is. Dus ik kan wel een boek gebruiken met wat lekkere recepten voor ijsjes. In dit leuk en erg lekkere boek lezen we over allerlei ijsjes. Van ijsjes met custard tot fruitijsjes tot ijsjes in allerlei kleurtjes. Echt van alles komt aan bod en ik vond het heerlijk divers. Nu kan ik er zeker wel een aantal proberen, niet vergeten te fotograferen dus want helaas komt dit boek van de bieb!
Ook erg lekkere en mooie foto's en ook leuk dat er wat illustraties waren.
Helaas ook veel herhaling in de recepten (over de ijsvormen, maar ook custard en wat andere stukjes), wat logisch is, maar toch ook jammer is. Zet het gewoon algemeen in het begin en laat het verder uit de recepten, nu komt het wat knullig over.

This book was so popular at my library that I didn't get to check it out until October. So I realize it's a bit odd talking about ice pops now that the weather is cooler. A friend gave me an ice pops mold a few years back but I didn't have any ideas or recipes to try. This book is full of tasty and colorful ideas that I can't wait to make. There are a few savory flavors but I don't think I will try those.

An eclectic collection of popsicles, with flavors that are very unique. There are also some great summer flavors like Pineapple and Coconut, or Coconut and Lime, but I find most of the recipes to be a little to offbeat to suit my taste.

Wonderful book. Full of inspiration.

This is a nice cookbook... I like most of the recipes! My only complaint is that a few of the recipes here and there use alcoholic beverages as main ingredients with no alcohol-free option given... As someone who avoids alcohol, this is irritating.
