One of The New York Times’s “Best Cookbooks of Spring 2019” • “Too often, ice cream is forgotten in the conversation about seasonal and sustainable cooking. Kitty Travers reminds us of the importance of both in her beautiful exploration of ice creams, sorbets, and gelatos.”—Alice Waters
 
Craft ice creams are all the rage, with new indie producers breaking the rules by creating unusual, exceptionally delicious flavor combinations. Kitty Travers, the creator of the beloved London-based brand La Grotta Ices, is changing our expectations when it comes to these cravable cold treats.
 
The ice creams, sorbets, and granitas featured in La Grotta are fruit-focused—the best produce goes into the ice cream and sorbet bases to ensure the purest taste of the fruit shines through. And when combined with unexpected herbs and other mix-ins, the results are eye-opening:
 
• Rhubarb and Angelica
• Guava and Lemon Leaf
• White Grapefruit and Pale Ale
• Tomato and White Peach
• Raspberry and Sage
• Chocolate and Caper
 
Featuring 85 photographs in a stunning design, the recipes in La Grotta will utterly surprise and inspire home cooks to explore homemade ice cream in delightful new ways.
