Salt and Straw Ice Cream Cookbook Hardcover – 30 April 2019

Really nice book from what seems like a good company. Simple to follow recipes so far that produce great results having made 6-7 in a Kitchenaid ice cream stand mixer.

I spent ages looking for an ice cream recipe book that doesn't use eggs. This book sells itself on this point and the three base recipes are egg free. But many of the recipes require additions which are made using eggs - such as snickerdoodle cookie, gingerbread and brownie ice creams. Also every recipe requires xanthan gum and corn syrup. I can use agave syrup instead and have found xanthan gum now, but it would have been nice for the authors to suggest alternatives for readers from across the world. I appreciate they are sharing the recipes they use in their shop rather than giving a general set of recipes. Also note all measurements are in US cups, pints and teaspoons. Overall first impressions I'm disappointed with the actual recipes but there are a couple of ideas which make it worth the reduced price I paid.

They do not use natural sweeteners like date sugar.

I’m shelving this one to be used when I want a good base recipe. Their creative but intimidating recipes will unlikely ever get made. I guess I didn’t know what I was getting into as I don’t live in Seattle.

every singe recipe for ice cream and sorbet uses corn syrup and xanthum gum - factory food all the way - completely the opposite point of why i would want to make ice cream at home using natural ingredients

Did not like the recipes

the entire Brewers section is just missing - I bought this about 1 year ago and am only noticing this now. But Brewers section is on page 95... the next page seems to be the start of the Flowers section... in any case there are no Brewers recipes in this book at all, I thought maybe there was a page mixup and it was elsewhere in the book, but no....publishing data: 2019, 1st edition, ISBN 978-1-5247-6015-1
