David - thanks for feeding us stracciatella, meringues, and brownies for breakfast during our shoot with you - and for letting me laze in your bedroom. :)

My kid and I have decided that you are the devil incarnate. In the middle of last night's transatlantic call, we both said "salted caramel ice cream!"

I made your chocolate ice cream again last night (for the fifth time this summer). Thank you, again, for writing Perfect Scoop. You rock.

It's scheduled to air in the fall of 2007. I'll post the date once I get it.

David,
I just made your chocolate sorbet (and posted about it!) It is to die for.... Your book is quickly becoming one of those old reliables.... :)

Just FedEx that Vanilla Ice Cream Stracciatella to me, please.

my favorite flavor of gelato... when I first found it, on a trip to Italy years ago, I told my father, who is a first generation Italian-American, who said "Egg-drop soup?? They make egg-drop soup gelato and you like this stuff?"

Of course it turns out "straciatella" apparently means a substance with little bits of some other substance sprinkled in it. Thus, egg-drop soup, and vanilla ice-cream with chocolate chips...
