As well as providing classic and modern recipes for everything from a divinely delicate pear sorbetto to an intense espresso gelato to the most indulgent zuccotto (a confection of alcohol-soaked sponge filled with chocolate and hazelnut gelato), this celebration of the worlds greatest chilled dessert explores some of the fascinating history, people, and places that make the Italian gelato experience unique. Packed with mouth-watering photography and easy to follow instructions—an ice cream machine is not always required!
