About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

This extensive collection explores the multiple flavor possibilities of low-fat frozen ices. A sweetened dessert for hot summer days, sorbets are also traditional "palate cleansers" between courses at elaborate dinners. Tarantino offers sweet and savory ices for both uses. Raspberry-peach and blueberry-kiwi ices, dried-apricot sorbet and espresso granita are suggested as desserts. Saffron, rose petals, persimmons, vodka and lemon juice, and minted lime embellish palate cleansers. A few items, including pina-colada ice and sherry, lavender and grapefruit-vermouth sorbets, are recommended as first courses. Some recipes are primarily for those who value the unusual for its own sake. There is, for example, a sorbet prepared with sparkling rose that has gone flatfor that's exactly what happens during preparation. (This must be for the pleasure of telling guests that they are dining on "champagne" sorbet.) Likewise, a margarita-jalapeno sorbet is strictly '80s trendy. Frozen ices are not difficult to prepare, and the book's basic directions are motivating. Tarantino is a musician and amateur cook. Illustrated.

Dozens of imaginative sorbets and ices, from a spicy Margarita-Jalapeno Sorbet to a refreshing Raspberry Granita to an indulgent White Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Sorbet. Sorbets are popular year-round now; most collections will want a copy of Tarantino's favorites. JS
