Product Information

"The proprietors of the popular San Francisco shop share their favorite ice cream flavors and plenty of things to do to (and with) them."
--New York Times Book Review
"Between the covers are all of the shop's secrets. In the generous spirit pervading the Bi-Rite enterprise, the Creamery's owners have given away the family jewels."
--Tasting Table San Francisco, 4/17/2012
"It's more that this book is refreshingly free of candied bacon ice creams and their palate shock value-fueled brethren that we've seen so much of in the pastry world recently (and for that, Bi-Rite, we can't thank you enough). Instead, "Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones" is more about those scoops of buttermilk ice cream (p. 37) piled high on top of fruit pies one weekend, appreciated for its unadorned simplicity another. It is about the day, or so we can daydream on weekdays, when you crumble that cinnamon-laced American baking staple that you've made dozens of times -- snickerdoodles (p. 195) -- into a cinnamon-speckled ice cream base to create Bi-Rite's frozen riff on "ricanelas," a cinnamon-y Mexican cookie. And it becomes something new, something different, something fantastic. No candied pork products or sugary, sensationalized corporate cereal additions required. Just two similar, and quite simple, homemade cookies with very different backgrounds. United by ice cream."
--Jenn Garbee, Los Angeles Weekly, 4/3/2012
"A beautiful guide to the world of American ice cream."
--Serious Eats, 4/12
"A great primer for beginners."
--Publisher's Weekly, 3/19/2012
"Kris and Anne make amazing ice cream. Now if you can't make it to 18th Street in San Francisco you can recreate their delights at home, whether it's decadent Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl, lively Ginger, or their signature Salted Caramel. One thing I know from experience, after you make them all (and you aren't going to miss out on one) you will have more than one favorite."
