The company Van Leeuwen was founded by the three authors of the book Laura (O’Neill, originally from New Zealand) and Ben & Pete (van Leeuwen, from New York). They focus on ice cream and ice cream only (with maybe a few recipes for toppings and the like). This vision shines through clearly in the book which is about their ice cream journey. Furthermore, they were on a mission to find the best ingredients for their ice cream they could find, a special chocolate, delicious pistachio nuts, etc. Emulsifiers, stabilizers and other ‘tricks’ weren’t within their toolkit. The reason for their Van Leeuwen grew from a desire to make high quality ice cream from ‘real’ ingredients. Starting out with two food trucks in New York back in 2008, they now have a bunch of trucks & ice cream stores in both New York and Los Angeles. Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream (affiliate link) is the 1st book by the founders of the similarly named ice cream company Van Leeuwen.

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream is one of those books written by people passionate about their topic, ice cream in this case. These books ‘shine’ more than those in which the topic is just one of their many interests and mostly chosen because of consumer data.
Hello, My Name is Ice Cream and The Perfect Scoop.Reading a cookbook from authors passionate about their topic, who write a cookbook about a topic because it’s what they do day in day out is always great. If you are a beginner, I recommend (from another beginner) these two books: The second flavor, is well of course, CHOCOLATE! Custard style, then Philly style! It seems to go from pop conservative flavors and slowly goes into more funky flavors. First custard (egg) style, then Philly style (no eggs). What I like is how The Perfect Scoop uses only basic home ingredients. Hello My Name is Ice Cream goes through it much better. I LIKE IT!! It very quickly goes through ingredients, and process, but very lightly. I got The Perfect Scoop yesterday and was reading through it.
Jenis Splendid Ice Cream at Home, should be arriving tomorrow.Īny other books/resources I need to stick in my watch list? I think in the process of trying to perfect my vanilla (texture, sweetness, reduction of icy feel, etc), ill probably start venturing out into those other ingredients. Cream, Milk, Eggs, Sugar, Salt, Vanilla (paste/whole/extract). Right now, im trying to just make the best vanilla i can (in my opinion) using just the basics. It think this book would be good, once you successfully made a few flavors and are looking for something crazier. Their base uses Xantham gum, corn syrup and milk powder.

But seemed more like recipes on how to do funky flavors.
Not really in-depth on the making of ice cream.

BUT what the f is the perfect color?!?!?!?!? Turn the page and there is a FULL PAGE COLOR image of all the different caramels. and it said, ".stop the cooking when the perfect color is achieved". Its strange, as i read "Hello", i just thought to myself, YEA! this is how you should write a cook book! I was reading about "Creamy Caramel Ribbon" page 138. Every gotcha is repeated over and over in every recipe. All quantities in both cups (boo) and grams (yea!).Įach step in the process in a paragraph. How she formatted the recipes are quite interesting. The commentary on each recipe were also very interesting, as they contained nuggets of info in them! It also has a list of recipes with commentary on each of them. Why do we need to heat the milk and cream? When adding eggs, why the heating process? What temp? how long? It answered all my nerdy questions. It also goes through the process of ice cream making. It also goes into detail about the other ingredients, such as Xantham Gum, corn syrup, sucrose, etc and how they are used to fine tune or solve certain problems in ice cream. and talks about its purpose in the ice cream process. It talks about each ingredient such as milk, cream, eggs, etc. Hello My Name is Ice Cream and Salt and Straw. Different vanillas, and looking for the "why's" of making ice cream.Īfter researching the net for a while, i purchased two books. Now that i have some confidence that I could make something that is edible, i started looking deeper. I tried the simple Vanilla recipe included in the book, and it came out "great"! well, good for my first time making ice cream! I then tried the rich vanilla, which also came out great! Like many of you, I got a Cuisinart 70 Ice Cream maker for Xmas. Hello all, lurking for a few weeks, first time poster!
