The word "gelato," in Italian, simply means "ice cream," but its meaning has shifted to define a type of high-end frozen dessert, made with milk, not cream. Gelato also has 35% less air whipped into it than ice cream, heightening its rich mouthfeel without tipping the scales. Gelato, in all its luxury, is simple to make at home with a standard ice-cream maker. "Making Artisan Gelato," following on the heels of "Making Artisan Chocolates," will offer 45+ recipes and flavor variations for exquisite frozen desserts, made from all-natural ingredients available at any grocery store or farmer's market. From pureeing and straining fruit to tempering egg yolks for a creamy base, the gelato-making techniques included in "Making Artisan Gelato" ensure quality concoctions. Recipe flavors run the gamut--nuts, spices, chocolate, fruit, herbs, and more--with novel flavor pairings that go beyond your standard-issue fare.
Given how much we eat, it's amazing that no book has ever been devoted to toast. Here Heidi Nathan provides a true first with contributions from Dame Maureen Lipman and Joanna Lumley. An essential guide to tastier toast toppings featuring delicious recipes sprinkled with anecdotes and facts on the history of toast 'Bread and water can so easily be tea and toast.' was famously written on a tea towel and in the pages of Punch magazine in 1852 where a man cried 'No bread? Then bring me toast!' For Heidi Nathan 'it has become my guilt trip to just stick whatever is left in the fridge on a slice of hot buttered toast. At the expense of my BMI, this, shamefully, has become primarily how I eat.' But for her toast is much more than a grilled slice of bread. In this book she gives the ultimate guide to what you can put on toast. Joanna Lumley explains her own favourite toppings which include Home-made marmalade, quite sour, quite chunky. Marmite: and sometimes peanut butter on top of the marmite, with watercress squashed onto the top of that. Baked beans pronounced baked beings for no reason other than to get an easy laugh. She is a great comedienne after all. Toast also involves technology. The "modern" timed pop-up toaster was created in 1919. Toasters got increasingly thinner and blended into the late 20th century kitchen neatly, until the tide turned as tides tend to do and bulky alloy mock art deco ones emerged.
