Melt

One of the brightest talents reinventing ice cream's image is Claire Kelsey of Ginger's Comfort Emporium, who serves her irresistible creations from her show-stopping retro van, or at festivals and events across the UK.

In Melt, Claire brings us more than 60 of her favourite recipes, ranging from Easy Berry Ripple to Vanilla in a Chocolate Brownie Sandwich, and from crunchy Marmalade on Toast to Olive Oil and Smoked Sea Salt. This is a grown-up ice-cream book with a sense of playfulness. There are naughty flavours, exotic flavours, daring flavours - all perfectly pitched to be genuinely, lip-lickingly gorgeous. There are comforting, curl-up-on-the-sofa recipes, and let's-try-this-one unusual combinations, so readers will want to sample one ice cream after another.

Throughout the book, Claire demystifies the process, revealing how making ice cream, from the familiar to the extraordinary, can be simple and fun.
