A Passion for Ice Cream by Emily Luchetti
You know fall is here when the office stays so cold that you have to wear the sweatshirt you keep there for just that purpose all day, but it isn’t quite cold enough to turn on the heater, which is old, very loud, and extremely inefficient. I suppose the sudden darkness one encounters upon leaving the building after work has something to do with it too, now that we are back to Standard time.
Ironically, the book I ordered recently, Emily Luchetti’s beautiful and wondrous cookbook called A Passion for Ice Cream, arrived on this first very chilly day in the Bay Area. I was inspired to get this cookbook because Anita, who keeps one of my favorite blogs, Dessert First, devoted an entire blog post back in August to three items she made from this book. One of them was the “chocolate-coated cocoa nib florentine and orange ice cream sandwiches,” and just the name of it, accompanied by Anita’s amazing photography, convinced me that I needed to get this book, if only to make this one item.Yeah, yeah, everything else in the book looks incredibly delicious (and not exactly for beginners to make). But if I can pull off the nibby Florentines and orange ice cream dressed with pistachios, the cost of this expensive, full-color hardcover will have been worth it. I don’t think I can wait until summer.

Mmmm. What yummy looking pictures!
Renee -- I really like these reviews; they inspire me to read all kinds of things I wouldn't have thought to read. As for the ice cream, it sounds like you might need to crank up the heat!
Credit goes to Anita for that picture of the ice cream sandwich. That's her photograph, not one from the book.
Renee,
Thanks so much for your sweet comments! I'm glad you decided the get the book, and you'll have to tell me if you try anything from there - her recipes are very easy to follow!
