Cook the Book: 'Eat This!' on Ice Cream and Candy
At a time when a heat wave is sweeping parts of the country, it's only natural that our thoughts would turn to ice cream. And, being the consummate guide to American noshery that it is, Ian Jackman's Eat This! naturally has a chapter on the stuff. Also along for the ride in the ice cream chapter is candy—the two just go so well together, no? After the jump, Jackman's ice cream and candy picks.
As is always the case with our Cook the Book feature, we've got some of these bad boys to give away. Details here.
