Many cultures have claimed the invention of ices as their own, but gelati, sorbette, granite, and many more sweet treats from the icebox were all developed to perfection in Italy. 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 world's 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
