Book Selecting The Perfect Ice Cream Maker

Download or read book Selecting The Perfect Ice Cream Maker written by Michelle Spencer and published by Speedy Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are using grandma's old hand-cranked ice cream maker, or one of the modern toss-ball types, there are some constants that are good to keep in mind while making ice cream at home. Crank freezers tend to have a larger 2-4 quart capacity than other ice cream makers, especially in the older models. More modern ice cream makers that do not require ice tend to be of 1-2 quart capacity. If you are making small batches with the ice-less type and want to make larger quantities, you might freeze the ice cream in separate smaller containers, or combine the batches in a larger container in your regular freezer. If you are making larger amounts for a gathering, make most of your ice cream in advance so as not to squander large blocks of time manning the ice cream maker while you have guests. Selecting The Perfect Ice Cream Maker by Michelle Spencer is perfect in helping you find the best Ice Cream Maker for making Ice Cream in the comfort of your home. Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions with any ice cream maker, crank or otherwise. Unless otherwise instructed, always start your project by washing the lid, can, and dasher (scraper) with hot soapy water. Be sure to rinse everything well, and scald with boiling water. This will sterilize your equipment, preventing bacteria from getting to the milk or cream in your mix. Check your lid and make sure it fits well to prevent leaking. Find out more trade secrets on how to make the best homemade ice cream and how to select that great ice cream maker.

Book Chickens in the Road

Download or read book Chickens in the Road written by Suzanne McMinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzanne McMinn, a former romance writer and founder of the popular blog chickensintheroad.com, shares the story of her search to lead a life of ordinary splendor in Chickens in the Road, her inspiring and funny memoir. Craving a life that would connect her to the earth and her family roots, McMinn packed up her three kids, left her husband and her sterile suburban existence behind, and moved to rural West Virginia. Amid the rough landscape and beauty of this rural mountain country, she pursues a natural lifestyle filled with chickens, goats, sheep—and no pizza delivery. With her new life comes an unexpected new love—"52," a man as beguiling and enigmatic as his nickname—a turbulent romance that reminds her that peace and fulfillment can be found in the wake of heartbreak. Coping with formidable challenges, including raising a trio of teenagers, milking stubborn cows, being snowed in with no heat, and making her own butter, McMinn realizes that she’s living a forty-something’s coming-of-age story. As she dares to become self-reliant and embrace her independence, she reminds us that life is a bold adventure—if we’re willing to live it. Chickens in the Road includes more than 20 recipes, craft projects, and McMinn’s photography, and features a special two-color design.

Book How To Cook  The Victorian Way With Mrs Crocombe

Download or read book How To Cook The Victorian Way With Mrs Crocombe written by Annie Gray and published by September Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous cookery book and the definitive guide to the life, times and tastes of the world's favourite Victorian cook Mrs Crocombe. As seen on English Heritage's The Victorian Way YouTube series. Mrs Crocombe is the star of English Heritage's wildly popular YouTube series, The Victorian Way. In delightful contrast to the high-octane hijinks of many YouTube celebrities, The Victorian Way offers viewers a gentle glimpse into a simpler time - an age when tea was sipped from porcelain, not from plastic cups; when mince pies were meaty and nothing was wasted; when puddings were in their pomp and no kitchen was complete without a cupboard full of copper pots and pans. Avis Crocombe really did exist. She was head cook at Audley End House in Essex from about 1878 to 1884. Although only a little is known about her life, her handwritten cookery book was passed down through her family for generations and rediscovered by a distant relative in 2009. It's a remarkable read, and from the familiar (ginger beer, custard and Christmas cake) to the fantastical (roast swan, preserved lettuce and fried tongue sandwiches), her recipes give us a wonderful window into a world of flavour from 140 years ago. How to Cook the Victorian Way is the definitive guide to the life, times and tastes of the world's favourite Victorian cook. The beautifully photographed book features fully tested and modernised recipes along with a transcription of Avis's original manuscript, plus insights into daily life at Audley End by Dr Annie Gray and Dr Andrew Hann, and a foreword by the face of Mrs Crocombe, Kathy Hipperson. It showcases the best recipes from Mrs Crocombe's own book, alongside others of the time, brought together so that every reader can put on their own Victorian meal. It's a moreish smorgasbord of social history an absolute must for fans, foodies and anyone with an appetite for the past. Please note this is a fixed-format ebook with colour images and may not be well-suited for older e-readers.

Book Salt   Straw Ice Cream Cookbook

Download or read book Salt Straw Ice Cream Cookbook written by Tyler Malek and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a simple five-minute base recipe, you can make the “brilliant” (Andrew Zimmern), “astonishingly good” (Ruth Reichl) flavors of the innovative “ice cream gods” (Bon Appétit) Salt & Straw at home. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE SEASON BY Eater • Delish • Epicurious Based out of Portland, Oregon, Salt & Straw is the brainchild of two cousins, Tyler and Kim Malek, who had a vision but no recipes. They turned to their friends for advice—chefs, chocolatiers, brewers, and food experts of all kinds—and what came out is a super-simple base that takes five minutes to make, and an ice cream company that sees new flavors and inspiration everywhere they look. Using that base recipe, you can make dozens of Salt & Straw’s most beloved, unique (and a little controversial) flavors, including Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Roasted Strawberry and Toasted White Chocolate, and Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. But more importantly, this book reveals what they’ve learned, how to tap your own creativity, and how to invent flavors of your own, based on whatever you see around you. Because ice cream isn’t just a thing you eat, it’s a way to live. Praise for Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook “Making ice cream at home is already enough of a mental hurdle. . . . Salt & Straw is out to prove us wrong with a new cookbook . . . making crazy ice cream flavors is more than doable—it’s addictive.”—Portland Monthly “The approachable, you-can-do-this nature of the book should be all that home cooks need to try it out.”—Eater “I originally sought out this book solely because of the Meyer Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Custard. . . . It is the greatest ice cream flavor that’s ever existed and, because it’s only a seasonal flavor in their stores, I needed the recipe so I could make it whenever I wanted.”—Bon Appétit “A cookbook dedicated to ice cream? Yes, please. This is essential reading for Salt & Straw fans.”—Food & Wine “Few of America’s many ice cream makers are as seasonally minded and downright creative as Salt & Straw co-founder Tyler Malek.”—GrubStreet

Book How to Make the Best Ice Creams and Amazing Frozen Desserts

Download or read book How to Make the Best Ice Creams and Amazing Frozen Desserts written by Gordon Rock and published by Gordon Rock. This book was released on 2020-05-25 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wanted to make rich, creamy ice cream right from your own home? Well now you can with these amazing ice cream recipes! Making ice cream at home is so much more satisfying than buying the boring stuff at the store and the results are far tastier. This book will outline the basic methods of making ice creams and show you how to make some cool new flavors that you would never find on a grocery shelf (Chai tea? Real Mint? Blood Orange Pops? These would never be in a store!). After using these recipes a few times, you will be an ice cream and frozen dessert pro! After reading some of the labels on prepackaged ice cream, I realized, (not surprisingly), that store bought ice creams can be full of preservatives and artificial flavors. Why does a frozen dessert need preservatives?! There has to be a better way! I decided to write this book to share great ice cream recipes that everyone can make at home without any unnecessary additives. Making your own ice cream at home will also shock your taste buds- ice cream made with real mint leaves is SO much more delicious and refreshing. All of the recipes in this book are made without artificial flavors and you and your guests will be able to taste the difference- get ready for people to ask for seconds and even thirds! Many of the recipes in this book will require an ice cream maker which can easily be found and purchased online or in any cooking store. They range from inexpensive to very pricey so pick the one that is best for you. I personally use one with a bowl which gets frozen ahead of time in the freezer and is then taken out right when I am ready to churn my ice cream. Look over the directions about how to use your machine before starting your ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream machine, don't worry. This book still has many great frozen desserts for you- try the Frozen Yogurt Berry Pops, a healthy frozen snack that is sure to please! Because all of the recipes in this book need to be frozen, the 'Active Time', or time it will take you to actively be working on these recipes, is what is included at the top of each page. Each dessert will need time to freeze so keep that in mind. But that's enough about the minute detail. Get your heavy cream and sugar out and let's make some ice cream!
