I can't recommend any cookbook more than David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. You can find a few of his ice cream recipes to try on his Web site. One of my all-time favorites of his is his fennel ice cream. I just made some last night and served it on top of a pear and apple crisp. Raves all around. The flavor is perfect with fall flavors and it is unexpected. If you want to try that out, you can find it on Smitten Kitchen (she's the one who inspired me to buy the book in the first place).

I use it to gauge sugar levels etc when experimenting with flavors. Fri Nov 06 11:05:22 -0800 2009 5161172 15001 jsaimd
