Ice cream is always one of my favorite treats – after all, I did write several book on the subject – so you probably wouldn’t be surprised that a book like Scoop Adventures: The Best Ice Cream of the 50 States: Make the Real Recipes from the Greatest Ice Cream Parlors in the Country caught my eye. This book takes you on a state-by-state tour of ice cream parlors and shares some of their most popular and most unique flavors, giving you a taste of without ever having to travel beyond your local grocery store.

The book starts in the South East and travels down into the South before heading up towards the North East,. Mid West and through the Rockies to the West Coast. Each recipe starts out with a little story about how the ice cream flavor came about and what makes it a local specialty. The flavors range from cover a wide range, from those that are clearly indulgent – Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Nut Ice Cream – to those that are a little bit more exotic, such as Earl Grey Sriracha Ice Cream. There is something for every taste, with plenty of options for both adventurous and slightly-less-adventurous eaters.
