Everyday's a Sundae

Nearly fifty fun, flavor-intense recipes for ice cream sundaes and other treats from the former pastry chef of Craft and Colicchio and Sons. Stephen Collucci's love of ice cream is rooted in memories of all-American childhood excursions to the local ice cream parlor. But as an experienced professional chef, he brings deft imagination to this seasonal collection of frozen desserts. His ideas can be as simple as a lemon-basil sorbet or peach-sherry granita; or they can be as sophisticated as sabayon ice cream with mixed berry preserves or a coffee nib crunch sundae with amaretti cookies and kahlua hot fudge. Throughout the book, each completed recipe is shown in photography by longtime NYC food photographer Battmann that adds to the book's usefulness for pastry chefs looking for fresh approaches. Color photographs throughout. Hardcover.
