Mmm. I'll go with the green tea flavour they serve at my favourite Japanese restaurant at Jourdain..

My favorite ice cream flavour is pistachio. Nuts and cream do it for me!

Strawberry! Congratulations on the book.

black walnut

Favorite flavor - lemon sorbet, i really can't quit it. I never make it anymore because I wind up eating it on the spot. Every. Single. Time. It's a dangerous thing to keep around me in general.

Out of curiosity, what is a zizi? :-)

Can't wait for your book, it's supposed to arrive tonight!

Congrats on the new book!

I must say my favorite sorbet is a lemon rosemary! Refreshing and savory.

Thanks for all the stories and recipes.

I just recieved your new book and I'm super excited to start reading it. With it, also, I recieved "The Perfect Scoop". Lucky enough, I am a dairy farmer and have saved the milk from our top butterfat producing Jersey cows and will be making some ice cream this weekend!

As far as favorite ice cream flavors, at this point I'd have to say Strawberry Cheese-cake. There is a ice cream shop close to me that sells it with a "cheese cake sauce" SUPER Delicious, I try to get a few each summer =O))

Congrats on the book!!! And as I said earlier, I can't wait to get into it! I love the blog, and since I have just returned from a trip to Paris, I look forward to reliving some of your wonderful Parisian experiences!

Childhood fave=strawberry. I still love it but I think green tea ice cream now overranks it.

maple walnut

Menthe Gelato from the little shop on the hill in San Gimignano.

Coffee ice cream is awfully nice.

It's really hard to choose a favorite, but if I have to, I'll go with black raspberry chocolate chip.

My favorite s Rocky Road. Yum!

Vanilla -- like basic black, perfect on its own yet with infinite ways of dressing it up. But your commenters have me salivating with new flavor possibilities.

Congratulations on the book! There are obviously some tantalizing tales that never made it onto the blog...

Peach!! Can't wait to read your new book!

The aggregated spumoni of all the flavors in your book savored in my imagination.

Congrats on the book. I can't wait to read it.

Favorite ice cream flavor? Cherry Vanilla. Hard to find but it's soooooo good.

It's a tie: Buttermilk or Salted Butter Caramel

Looking forward to reading your new book - congratulations! My favorite ice cream is still strawberry, but I really like other flavors as well.

chocolate

Coffee ice cream can't be beat.

Almond praline (icecream)
lemon (sorbet)

Hmm, my ice cream faves change with the seasons so I guess now that it is springtime I would say mostly berry flavors. I'll go with blackberry--not too sweet, not too tart.

Looking forward to the book...

Chocolate peanut butter

Strawberries and champagne ice cream . . . with real alcohol.

Lemon, lemon, lemon

An ice cream place called Christina's in Cambridge, MA does a Fresh Mint icecream in the spring. The best way I can describe it is to say it tastes "green", but in a good way!

Vanilla

Mango Lemon Sorbet is the best!

Lemon, Lemon, or something similarily citrus.....

I'm a mint chocolate girl...but it has to be DARK chocolate.

Man, this is hard. But I think I'd have to say... orange sorbet with bittersweet chocolate pieces.

black raspberry . . . mmmm. it would be okay to have that for breakfast, right?

my favorite is blood orange sorbet...mmmm. can't wait to read the new book!

Raspberry sorbet with a hint of chilli

Congratulations for the new book! My favorite ice cream is pistachio...

Congrats on the book! I can't wait to get a copy.

Chocolate is my favorite!

Fav. Flavor: Orange Sorbet.

Sorry about the second entry, I got a message the first one didn't get delivered.
Don't whip me, don't whip me!

Nothing comes close to rich, smooth bittersweet chocolate icecream. Congrats on the book, will be ordering from Amazon.

Pistachio

Caramel beurre salé.

It's hard to pick just one, but I'll go with peanut butter cup for this question.

I enjoy the blog very much, and am looking forward to reading the new book!

Favorite ice cream: Sliced Lemon, from the Cabarrus Creamery, a nearly century-old ice cream shop (the original closed in the '90s, but has been resurrected by a new owner) near the small town in North Carolina where my mother grew up. It's rich and custardy, with paper-thin slices of lemon -- rind and all -- throughout.

Oh goodness ... I pretty much love ice cream in any flavor but would have to go with coconut. The book looks lovely. Congratulations!

Chocolate and any variation on it. Congratulations!

Caramel au beurre salé!

The cookware and book look fantastic!

My favorite is chocolate, but if it has other things in it (peanut butter cups, caramel swirls, brownies, cookie dough...you get the idea), so much the better!

Congratulations on the new book! My favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry cheesecake.

I've never commented before, but have been reading your blog for... well, ages now. Love it. And love chocolate ice cream and raspberry sorbet, but I'm always ready to try something that makes me change my mind.

Chocolate peanut butter...homemade of course. Yum! And congrats on the new book!

butter pecan. and congrats on your book - I'll be sure to pick up a copy. Cheers!

Congratulations on your book!

I absolutely love a good French Vanilla ice cream. Second place is Starbucks Java Chip.

pistachio

My wife just made a lemon ginger snap ice cream that was pretty amazing. So, that one!

Dulce de leche. At least, today that's my favorite flavor.

Peanut Butter!

or Ben and Jerry's "Everything But The..."

butter pecan!

Looking forward to reading your new book. Saffron and cardamom ice cream is my nemesis.... luckily, those flavours are hard to find where I live, so I can control my consumption by not making it too often:)

Congratulations, and thanks for hosting a fun contest! My favorite ice cream flavor... is... will I be banned for saying this?... Anyway, it was "Cool Brittania" by Ben and Jerrys. Chocolate-covered shortbread chunks in a strawberry-vanilla swirled ice cream.

Chocolate

My ice cream favorite is chocolate ice cream, but if it is going to have hot fudge sauce (and I hope it is) I prefer vanilla or strawberry. If we are talking sorbet, I'll have raspberry.

All Clad is awesome cookware! What a terrific giveaway!

Raspberry Sorbet -- made with love after each raspberry was hand picked by me and my family during an outing at our favorite local farm! Divine.... !

Either green tea or rose. It's a toss up between those two.

Congrats on the book!

Coconut!

Vanilla Bean....

Red Bean Ice Cream! Give me some All-Clad!

At the moment I'm a big fan of simple vanilla ice cream. The late stages of pregnancy seems to be keeping me from anything more adventurous.

Such a difficult choice! Favourite has to be proper hazelnut gelato from Italy

My favorite ice cream flavor is black sesame. The first time I tried it was on a vacation to Japan in 2006, from a little 'soft cream' stand (like soft serve ice cream) on the side of the road. It was amazing and I've loved black sesame ever since!

Hi David! I just got your new book on my Kindle (thank you for making it available for Kindle!) and can't wait to start reading!
My favorite flavor is Mango sorbet.

Chocolate Cherry!!

Raspberry sorbet. Mmmmmmm...

mango sorbet--congrats on your new book! Can't wait to read it.

Cinnamon Ice Cream - sweet and creamy and a little fiery

ooooo, can't wait to read your book, congrats! In Columbus, OH we are spoiled with great ice cream, my favorite would have to be Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip followed closely by Jeni's Salty Caramel...but then there's Denise's Coffee Oreo...can there be a bad ice cream?

Congratulations on your new book!

My favorite commercial ice cream flavor is Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. Nothing beats homemade.

Balsamic Strawberry from Bi Rite in San Francisco!

Sadly, I don't get it too much, since I now live in Australia...

my favorite is cookies n cream.

What, just one? Ginger Molasses from Christina's in Cambridge, MA.

Congratulations on the book!

favorite ice cream... dark bitter chocolate from berthillon!

Hazelnut gelato is definitely my favorite. Congrats on the new book, I expect it in the mail any day now!

matcha ice cream with a ribbon of red bean paste through it. yum!

Mint Chocolate Chip

I LOVE LOVE LOVE pineapple sorbet. When my local grocer stopped carrying it, I had to learn to make it myself. :)

Looking forward to reading the new book!
Toffee chip ice cream or raspberry sorbet here in the US; chocolate gelato in Italy.

Me, me, me! Pick me, pick me! Ooh, All-Clad (shudder)!

I sure hope you don't dq me, since my first post got eaten by the contest monster this morning!

My fave flavor? A gelato I found in Perugia two weeks ago called simply 300. Dark chocolate with whole brandied cherries (heavy on the brandy) ...oh baybee. Followed closely by cassis sorbet.

Good luck on the book.

I have been reading this blog in anticipation of my upcoming trip to Paris (18-May). Thank you David - it has been very entertaining, in addition to informative. Must say mocha is my favorite flavor - I always come back to it!
Congratulations on the release of your new book!!

Orange with dark chocolate chips. They make a fabulous version of this at Babock Hall at the University of Wisconsin. Really, you should go there instead of Italy.

Rocky Road! Congrats on the book, David! Looks like I'll be buying something else from Amazon.

I pre-ordered your book at Amazon and it should arrive this week. I can't wait to read it. I really enjoy your blog and have been following it for a long time but have never commented until now.

My favorite flavor of ice cream is chocolate with strawberries.

I'm halfway through your book already (it arrived yesterday) and it's wonderful. Congratulations!

Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!

Neapolitan ice cream!

Oh, this is hard! Just one?

Mint chocolate chip is absolutely devine!

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is my standby. Congrats!

Chocolate + Banana

Vanilla bean. so so good.

Congrats on the book and I love your blog! My favourite ice cream is Pistachio.

coffee ice cream and mango sorbet.

i can't wait to read your book, and as a fellow paris resident, i'm sure a least a few of your adventures will be all too familiar!

Congrats on the release!

So hard to pick a favorite, but recently I cannot get enough of fresh almond milk cremolata.

Either Nocciola (Hazelnut) or Castagna (chestnut) gelatto

cinnamon

I love Coconut Sorbet and any ice cream with chunks I can dig for.

the fresh ginger icecream from the "perfect scoop"

Salted caramel ice cream! But the first flavor I ever made was your avocado ice cream. Congrats!

lemon sorbet

Salted Carmel

Your malted milk ice cream recipe is my favorite, made with chocolate malted milk powder.

glace de caramel bien sur!

congratulations on your book - if it's anything like your blog, i'm sure it will be a fantastic (and very funny) read. my favourite ice-cream is salted butter caramel.. yum!

Cookies and Cream, or anything with peanuts/ peanut-butter. :)

The darkest possible chocolate.

Love reading you!

Caramel Coffee Crunch

And congrats on the book, it arrived yesterday and I can't wait to start it

Banana pudding ice cream!

Hazelnut, always. (Although I always hem and haw and think about getting something fruity, it inevitably comes back to hazelnut...)

My favorite is pink lemonade sherbet.

Favorite ice cream flavor: Mint Chocolate Chip

I'm a sucker for a well-made green tea ice cream. Congrats on the book, David!

A really good rich, creamy vanilla!

Coffee Toffee Crunch from Ben and Jerry's. I so wish they still made this one!

My favorite flavor is Phish Food by Ben & Jerry's. Close on it's heels would be Dulce de Leche by Haagen Dazs. yum!

Love your creativity, including this contest! Congrats on your new book.

I'm going with coconut sorbet.

Coconut Mango Sorbet is my fave! In a waffle cone!

Looking forward to your book. Peaches and cream today.

I love coconut.

My heart skipped a beat when I read this post. I dream of one day having an All-Clad set. Ice cream or sorbet, you say? How about together? My all time favorite is cup 1/2 filled with dark chocolate ice cream and 1/2 filled with strawberry sorbet. Many congratulations on the book!

Mexican Hot Chocolate gelato

Dark chocolate sorbet with halved the sugar from the recipe(yes i don't have a sweet tooth) and a splash of whiskey or cognac before start churning.

Gianduja gelato from my fav gelato store in virginia

Chocolate peanut butter

I have an equal love of pistachio gelato and bananas foster ice cream. Both are amazing!

Glace aux Speculoos, sans hesitation!

Fresh mint ice cream in the summer... heaven!

My favorite sorbet is a tie: Cranberry or Concord Grape, I love them both so much :). New book looks great! Can't wait to read it :)

Vanilla with real vanilla speckles.

As my boyfriend puts it, I am "monomaniaque successive", that is I go crazy for one thing, have it over and over again for a couple of weeks or months, until I get totally bored of it and move to another mania. I don't know yet what's gonna be this summer hit, but last year, saffron gelato was my favorite. Peanut butter ice cream close second.

Salted caramel.. yummm. Congratulations on the new book! Can't wait to get my copy!

I've made your sour cream strawberry and it was beyond good!

Pomelo

Peppermint has always been my favorite, but if I had an ice cream maker I'd try all sorts of new combinations.

This week my favorite is the strawberry frozen yogurt from your book. That stuff is fabulous! Last week it was your ginger ice cream. That book is going to kill me....

My favorite right now is ginger. I've been eating it pretty much nonstop for the past 3 weeks. Congratulations on the new book!

Pistachio! Just kidding.

Mint chocolate chip.

Congrats on the book!

Peppermint has always been my favorite, but if I had an ice cream maker I'd try all sorts of new combinations.

I was just in Istanbul and had some extraordinary sorbet and ice cream experiences. The best was a grape sorbet made from wonderful fragrant black grapes from the black sea coast at a restaurant called Changa - amazing. Had a water buffalo mastic flavoured ice cream at Muzedechanga (sister restaurant) - as crazy as it sounds! And finally I tried a chewy, stretchy, vanilla flavoured, goats milk ice cream called dondurma from a street vendor. Mastic resin, a substance called salep and kneading the ice cream make it pliable and resistant to melting. Sounds challenging, but the taste and texture were great - the vendor will even put on a show when you order it! Basically I love anything exotic!

I do like your Salted Butter Caramel quite a bit...

Or maybe a chocolate sorbet.

But chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream wins every time, I must say.

coffee ice cream, maybe with chocolate chunks or maybe just plain.

vanillia

Congrats on the book release! My favorite ice cream flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip.

What fun!

Green Tea ice cream is my all time favorite, but I do also love a good daquari sorbet on a hot summer night.

I'll be heading to my local bookstore to pick this up today. I can't wait to read it!

In the meantime, grapefruit sorbet (or gelato) is my favourite.

I love the exquisite taste of hazelnut gelato. I love it even more passionately when in Italy.

Mocha Chocolate Chip. MMMMM. Congrats on the book!

Deep chocolate peanut butter

congrats on the book!

i love honey macadamia or tart frozen yogurt

congrats on the book!

i love honey macadamia or tart frozen yogurt

butter pecan all the way!

pistachio

Today it would be lemon sorbet.

Madagascar Vanilla.....mmmmm. Can't wait to read the new book.

Grapefruit sorbet wins for me :D

mint oreo frozen yogurt!
or, if that doesn't count, coconut sorbet. mmmmmmmm.

Looking forward to the cookbook. A decadent butter pecan with caramel sauce wins it for me. Or plain vanilla, that's for every day....

Chocolate, when I make it with El Ray bittersweet. Second place is Vanilla with salted butter carmel sauce and toasted almonds. Or...
I'm looking forward to your book!

Favorite sorbet: coconut

My favorite is definitely strawberry! I didn't like it as a kid, but can't resist it now.

Any boozy ice cream from Berthillon. They don't hold back.

Nocciola!

Favorite ice cream flavor: coffee.

Key lime pie ice cream! =)

Congrats on the book! I can't WAIT to read it!

I just adore All-Clad. I'd love to add to my collection. My favorite flavor of ice cream is actually vanilla with a heaping amount of cookie dough stirred in for good measure.

Vanilla with gummi bears . . .

malted milk

I would have to go with raspberry chocolate.

Looking forward to the book. I would have to say a butter pecan with caramel sauce or plain vanilla for every day.

Anything with fruit in it, really, but cherry is probably my favorite.

A lifetime ago (before kids!) I had Kona Truffle ice cream during a vacation to Hawaii... I haven't found anything so good since...

Best ice cream ever???? Homemade peach ice cream at the height of peach season. !!!!!! -John

coffee ice cream, maybe with chocolate chunks or maybe just plain.

There is a tiny glacier in Bordeaux who made FANTASTIC violet ice cream--delicious.

Another coconut freak~~!

Hmmm....I had a coconut cardamom sorbet once that was incredible. I also looooove pistachio.

Mango sorbet and mint chocolate chip ice cream. I love All-Clad!

green tea!

mint chocolate chip!

mint chocolate chip till the day I die!

I'm pretty boring - cookies and cream is my favourite ice cream! You are probably going to kill me for this but Hagen Daas is the best option available in stores, in my opinion. :o) Don't hurt me!

I can't wait to read your book, David!

mint oreo frozen yogurt!
or, if that doesn't count, coconut sorbet. mmmmmmmm.

Right now, it's strawberry rhubarb because it's in season and so delicious! But on any other given day, I'd die for a good pistachio or chocolate!

hazelnut ice cream!

Love your blog.
I've lived in paris so it is nice to keep touch with it through your recipes and escapades!

I love chocolate sorbet...if that isn't available the next choice is a raspberry! Congrats on the book!

Nougat with a little splash of Calvados.
Congrats on the new book.

Cantaloupe. Taste like an agua fresca from La Taqueria! Mmmm.
Congratulations on the book!

Can't wait to read your new book!!

I am sort of boring when it comes to ice cream. I love vanilla bean.

Congrats of the new book!

I love peanut butter icecream - prefer vanilla based but would never pass up chocolate peanut butter either! :-)

All time favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip. Not the strange green stuff either. It has to be white with super dark chocolate bits in it. Nothings better then that!

I only had it once and haven't seen it since, but it left enough of an impression that I'm going to call in my favorite: pink lemonade ice cream. (Not sorbet -- ice cream!)

Raspberry sorbet....black Michigan cherry ice cream....great. Now I'm hungry!

Old-fashioned, hard-to-find, peppermint stick is my favorite...

Gelato HAS to count! (Right?) - in which case, my favorite is a flavor called zuppa inglese from Italy. I spent part of my childhood in Vicenza, Italy, and there was this place that we always passed on the way home from school - they had a lot of different gelato flavors, and I would ALWAYS, always bug my mom to get me some gelato. All I remember of it was that it was really rich chocolate, and really rich french vanilla; but to a 7 y/o child, it was the whole world - and the stuff childhood memories are made of.

Thanks, I just found an excuse to go back to Europe. lol

Congratulations on the new book! Sounds great! I will put it on my wish list.

I'm an ice cream lover so picking one flavor is tough. I love mint chip. I love chocolate. I love them all! But if I could only ever have one for the rest of my life, I'd go with classic vanilla, because you can always mix it up, dress it up or just enjoy it as is.

Lime Cardamom

my favorite is homemade green tea white chocolate with a crystallized ginger topping....

Old-fashioned, hard-to-find peppermint stick is my favorite...

Truly simple: Chocolate Hazelnut ice cream is always my first choice when given the chance... Cheers!

My very favourite sorbet flavour is Black Zapote (Diospyros digyna): Black, sweet and fragrant . . . And so full of memories. Ice cream? Well, it would probably have to be Pine Nut. Sadly, as an expat in the UK neither sorbet or ice creams come to me very often in these flavours but, if I had to choose my last dinner ice cream and sorbet, it would probably be these two. And that is that mon cheri!

Definitely Blackberry gelato.

Favorite ice cream flavor - basil . yummmmmmmmers.

Congrats on the book!

Vanilla ice cream. No, wait. Chocolate sorbet. No. Maple walnut. Raspberry sorbet! Hm. Crème fraîche? Strawberry? Blackberry. Better stick with vanilla...

Rum raisin.

cantaloupe ice cream in a sugar cone!

In case you don't win the All Clad... the factory has a semi annual scratch and dent sale coming up. June 3 and 4th at the Washington County Fairgrounds, about 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh PA. Lines are long, but the prices (40-70% off ) are worth it. They restock all day long.

We may not have Paris markets, or amazing baguettes, but we do have All Clad!

Thanks David... your blog is truly a treat.

Hmm... I've gotta say chocolate.

chocolate super fudge chunk (with chocolate covered almonds)

V excited to hear about your new book.

My fave ice cream flavour is hazelnut. Classic but stunning if made well.

I am so looking forward to reading this book!

Favorite for me --- homemade vanilla.

Have to have at least one scoop of coffee not to turn down any others at all!

Can't wait to read the book! I'm not sure I can choose an all-time favorite, but right now I'm pretty excited about the homemade mint (no extract, only mint leaves!) with shaved dark chocolate in my freezer...

Your chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered pretzels thrown in, mmm. I love your book!

Dark Chocolate with cinnamon and black pepper - yummmmmmy!

A favorite ice cream flavor? That's really tough. I love so many of them! Today I'm feeling like a good hazelnut gelato would really hit the spot.

I have been waiting for this book forever. I can't wait to get my copy and sit down to read it cover to cover. Keep up the great blogging. I know it sounds pretty dull but my favorite ice cream is vanilla.

My current fave is mango sorbet...pretty much anything with mango in it and on sale.

I've been a fan of yours, David, for a long time and, of course, a contest for a fabulous cookware set has wrenched the email address out of me. (I'm also hoping to save up for one of your chocolate tours!) Millefois merci for your humor when we could all use some.

chocolate chip cookie dough but only the cookie dough balls

Lemon custard - without the lemon candy bits - I like my ice cream completely smooth. Used to be in every freezer case. Seems to have completely disappeared. Why would they take my lemon custard away?

Your salted butter caramel ice cream definitely takes the cake - or in that case, a few hours on the treadmill :P (FYI - i still love your version of CAPTCHA - so much better)

Homemade vanilla - made with buttermilk.

Pistachio and cardamom kulfi style - kulfi counts, right?

I have so many favorite ice creams I can't begin to list them all. Salted butter caramel for this very moment, then.

I'll be honest, I'm an old-fashioned, plain kind of gal. I like a REALLY, REALLY good vanilla bean. Period.

Vanilla bean for me please!

Chocolate! (although rum raisin and Bailey's are close seconds) Can't wait to read the new book!

Passion fruit from berthillion!

Ginger ice cream for the win! The fact that it's hard to come by only adds to its appeal.

cinnamon ice cream

Homemade Mango Sorbet!!!!

I love your candied bacon ice cream, with the salted butter caramel as a close second. But, you know what they say: everything's better with bacon!

chocolate....nothing better..

peach lavender ice cream or blood orange sorbet. i couldn't pick just one :)

Rocky Road. Not the cheaters kind with marshmallow fluff swirled in but the real thing. Good rich chocolate ice cream with real mini-marshmallows and chunks of nuts.

Sour cherry frozen yogurt from The Perfect Scoop. Crazy good!

Tat is easy to answer, my favourite ice cream is Pistache ice cream.

Coconut!!

Coffee!

coffee with chocolate, but milk chocolate and black pepper is a close runner up. your recipe was fantastic!

Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip from Graeter's!!!

My favorite flavor of ice cream is Larry's Chocolate Orange, from DC. Baklava ice cream from the Black Olive restaurant in Baltimore is a close second though. I'd absolutely love to receive your book and the All-Clad pans would be an impressive bonus! Thanks for the opportunity!

oh goodness, i think i have to go with cinnamon ice cream. yum!

Pistachio. that was easy.

I'll give you a few more: rocky road, mint chocolate chip, anything with crunchiness in it, lately!

FUN!

I'd like the All-Clad but I'd rather have a copy of the book! I'll see if I can pick it up when I'm in Dublin this weekend to save shipping...if it's out in the UK.

J'aime le sorbet de mangue!

Congrats on the book release! My favorite ice cream flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip.

Lemon sorbet and coffee ice cream, often in that combination too :)

Today, my favorite is mango.

Coffee, coffee, coffee!

Congratulations on the new book. I can't wait to read it. I love "Perfect Scoop".
Maple Walnut is my favorite ice cream.

brown butter ice cream (Craft NYC)

Too many to choose from (it's like asking what's your favorite thing about Paris?), but if I must: Black Raspberry Cabernet and Denali(R) Motherlode(R).

Mint chocolate chip made with fresh mint!

Pistachio, or your vanilla!

Today my favourite flavour is salt caramel....maybe it's because I had Laduree macaroons that were this flavour yesterday!

My favorite is coffee oreo cookie. Love it!
The book is on it's way from Amazon through my preorder. I'm looking forward to reading it. Good luck on the book!

stracciatella : white base (i prefer vanilla) with chocolate shavings like truffle chocolate

burnt caramel

Definitely rum raisin!

!!

choosing a favourite flavour is like choosing which child to save from a burning house. ooh - did i go too far? haha - pistachio it is!

Mango sorbet and Butter scotch ice-cream are my favorites!

... adding to the chorus, congrats on the book!

flavor favorites:
ice cream: coffee
sorbet: coconut
(thank god you didn't ask about toppings, that would've been impossible!)

rum raisin

Milk Chocolate and Black Pepper and for two reasons. First reason is because I like it. Second reason is because everyone just knows they are not going to like it and then can't stop eating it after the first taste.

My favorite at the moment is mango ice cream or sorbet. But all my life has been dark chocolate. Let's face it: I looove ice cream and I can't really choose one, I like them all. (provided they're made from good quality ingredients, of course!)

I'm looking forward to read your new book, David. Congratulations!!!!

Definitely Vanilla -- but only homemade with vanillabeans and not with artificial flavour! I am very curious about your new book as I love Paris and hope to learn a lot of new things about that beautiful city. Think I will visit Paris in autumn.

Dark chocolate sorbet, where there's nothing to get in the way of the pure chocolate flavor, or passion fruit, preferably with the seeds left in.

Butterscotch and Pecan or when I am feeling particularly childish... Goody goody gumdrops....

dulce de leche or any flavor w/caramel swirled through it! can't wait to get your book! paula

Oh my, it's gotta be coffee ice cream. Also, I can't wait to get your book!

Do I have to narrow it down to just one? Ok then, chocolate...no wait...chocolate peanut butter...I mean nutella gelato...or maybe coffee with chocolate chips...

Ok, since I usually have a common theme, I'll have to say chocolate as my original fave.

gelato, any kind! lucky for me i'm spending nine weeks in italy this fall :)
BUT i'm also in desperate, desperate need of some pots and pans. this is fabulous. congrats on your new book!

cherry chocolate

my favorite flavor is probably... chocolate hazelnut. and congrats on the book! you have a big fan in houston, texas. :)

My favorite kind of ice cream IN THE WORLD is la glace au cassis, which I can never find in North America, which breaks my heart! My second favorite kind of ice cream IN THE WORLD is pistachio ice cream, but it's very difficult to find good pistachio ice cream that doesn't make your tongue green or tastes like plastic and has crunchy pieces of real pistachio inside!

Meyer lemon sorbet, please!

mmm...coconut!

Black sesame seed ice cream for sure!

Blood Orange sorbet

Does gelato count? If so, it's got to be nocciola.

A French-style vanilla egg custard is favourite! Great on its own, or with whatever fruit and liquor you have on hand. Chocolate works too!

Looking forward to the new book, David!

Our freezer always has some of your Malted Milk ice cream in it. Look forward to reading your new book.

It's a toss-up between chocolate or dulce de leche.

Jaffa (choc-orange Aussie style!!!!!!!)

I would absolutely die for some fried iced cream -- either green tea or plain jane vanilla. Soooo amazing!

Campari/Pomelo sorbet.

"Into the thigh-high boots..."? With the boys still in?

oooo, if i'm going to be honest, chocolate rocks me every single time. if i want to sound exotic, i always go with rosemary goat's milk ice cream!

mint chocolate chip

mmmmmmmmm!!!
let's see, favorite ice cream is cookie dough. and i can never seem to get past the ice cream menu to order sorbet. maybe this summmer?

pistachio!

Spicy chocolate (ice cream or sorbet) with caramel sauce (although I've never tried salted caramel...).

Last time I checked, not a single bookstore in my hometown had a copy of The Perfect Scoop in stock. I hope I have better luck finding The Sweet Life!

Pralines and cream

Coconut, anything with coconut

berthillon's salted caramel.... or perhaps their chocolate amer... it's too hard to choose!

Congrats on the book!

Hmm.. Fav. Icecream would be Spiced Cranberry & Ginger.. never seen it in store shelves, but favorites can always be whipped up at home right?

Congratulations on your new book.

My favourite ice-cream is nougatine! Always order it for dessert when it's available.

This week my favorite ice cream would have to be ginger. Best of luck with the book.

Lemon for sorbet, but mango for ice cream.

Looking forward to the book.

Coffee haagen-dazs soothes my soul.

Ohhh, so hard to choose! Probably my latest favorite is Pineapple Upside Down Cake custard from a little shop by me. Mmmmmm.

Usually something with chocolate and caramel is awesome too.

i'll have to go for blackberry. I love blackberry anything!

Raspberry truffle!

not to go all brand-name... buy my fav is B&Js New York Super Fudge Chunk.

congrats on the book!! will be picking it up soon!

Chocolate, hands down!

mint chocolate chip

Okay, I seriously need/covet this all-clad set almost as much as I love reading your blog. My favorite ice-cream flavor is peppermint, but it is closely followed by honey-lavender. And no, the two don't taste so great together.

Oooh, I shouldn't have read the comments before making my own. Now my head's buzzing with too many flavours.

I'll choose vanilla ice cream with crushed cinnaman cookies, though I would join your readers in any of the above!

Well, without a doubt, my favorite is the Malted Milk Ball Ice Cream, from your book!

Congratulations on the new book! Can't wait to check it out.

My favourite ice cream flavour is coffee.

Jasmine. Got your book yesterday and can't put it down. Fun stuff.

Only one favourite? Pistachio

Congratulations on your new book! What an exciting time! And the giveaway is too fun - my favorite ice cream flavor is constantly changing, but right now I'm obsessed with pistachio.

Carmel pecan.

Rocky road is my all-time favorite, but I wouldn't turn down any ice cream, regardless of flavor!

Chocolate walnut fudge ..... yum. Congrats David .... you've got the best website and I'm sure the book will be wonderful!

Chocolate!

Sweet corn and blackberry from Jeni's Ice Creams. :)

lemon sorbet yummy!

Well I'm partial to pistachio but my absolute favourite would be the almond milk with almond macaroon pieces from Picard... subtle, simple, flavorfull but delicate.

Congratulations David!
mango ice cream all the way!!!!

Congrats on the new book! Strawberry sorbet, because I am a simple creature :)

Can't wait to get your book in the mail - pre-ordered from Amazon.

Favorite ice cream... salted butter caramel (your recipe). Hands down.

Congratulations on your success!

Aztec Chocolate from you cookbook "The Perfect Scoop"!

Banana

Congratulations on the new book!
For the longest time my favorite flavor of ice-cream used to be dark chocolate with a swirl or coffee. But a few days ago I had this really exquisite jasmine ice-cream that blew me away. Jasmine is totally my new favorite now!

Mint Chocolate Chip

I'm inclined to say coffee from DL's ice cream book (full of chocolate chips) but there are so many to love! Like fresh ginger and dark chocolate? Or raspberry and dark chocolate? Or buckwheat?

Mmmmm....the buckwheat is good. I'll go with that, I guess.

Your salted caramel ice cream -- it's better than Bi-Rite! Your recipe for lemon buttermilk sherbet, made with Meyer lemons, is my new favorite but it's not ice cream, so I guess it doesn't count.

chocolate peanut butter!

I'm a sucker for green tea ice cream, though you don't come by it that often. In fact, that's probably part of its allure.

Congratulations on the book!

I love the timeless Strawberry icecream from HaagenDaz... just the right amount of ingredients and flavor combination.

I can't live without cinnamon icecream!

Chocolate chip

My favorite ice cream flavor goes back and forth between three: Chocolate, Vanilla or Blueberry Gelato. I'm a little indecisive. Oh, okay, and maybe sometimes my favorites are strawberry cheesecake and/or peanut butter swirled through chocolate. Ack! I can't decide.

Strawberry

Green tea- I love anything that's a little bit gross it becomes great.

I have a dwarf sour cherry tree in my front yard. A friend makes ice cream from the juice of the cherries I give him. It is indescribably delicious. Visit in late July and you may have some.

my favorite is any flavor that is home-made ( I make my own) if I have to choose one it would be salted carmel - can't wait to buy the new book.

Ube (purple yam, popular as a sweet ingredient in the Philippines, used in cakes, ice cream, pastry fillings,...)

Salted caramel ice cream - your recipe!

Cinnamon! That's the flavor from Perfect Scoop that I make most often.

Definitely chocolate. Forever.

Berthillon's salted caramel

Lemon Sorbet

Creme Fraiche Ice Cream & Sorbet -- although with Creme Fraiche as the main ingredient the sorbet is very ice-cream like. Also, Apple Sorbet because I have a killer recipe that uses apple cider rather than fresh apples (avoiding all the peeling, dicing, pureeing, etc.)

salted caramel from bi-rite!

Vanilla.

Do I have to choose one? It depends on the brand/shop, I love anything with caramel (doux or beurre sale), chocoloate chip (especially mint, with slivers rather than chips of chocolate), black cherry and cookies and cream... but my favorite flavor, because it is always good is fior de latte (or sweet cream). My favorite purveyors of gelato are Capogiro in Philadelphia, Grom in Torino, and Raimo's in Paris.. So hungry right now :)

Passionfruit sorbet!

Bi-Rite Chai Tea.

Every New Years my mom used to take all the leftover candy canes from Christmas and make candy cane ice cream. We were the only family I knew who made ice cream in January ... but it was a family tradition and you know those can't be broken. And to be honest, that homemade candy cane ice cream remains my favorite flavor to this day - and always will be.

I love fresh mint ice cream with hot fudge!

Peach Peach Peach!

My favorite sorbet is blackberry cabernet from Ciao Bella. Chardonney peach is a close second. Mmm I want some Right. Now.

Malaga wine & raisins! Specialty of my local gelato shop. I haven't gone in for a couple months now as they've changed ownership and I can't bear the thought of my Malaga not being the same. Spring is here so I suppose it's time to screw up my courage. A set of pots would sure help me forget my potential sorrow!

Brown Sugar Vanilla or Smurfberry

grapefruit and rosemary sorbet. herbaceous, bright and very refreshing on a hot TX day.

olive oil gelato. yummmy

Coconut!

Dulce de leche!

Milk Chocolate Guinness!

I love banana chocolate chip ice cream and am honestly making some as I type this!!!

Congrats on your new book. Can't wait to read it!

tart fresh passionfruit sorbet

My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip. Now I'm hungry.

coffee ice cream!

Strawberry of course!

David - what is a "rubber zizi" ?!?!?!?

Gabi @ Mamaliga.

I'd go with chocolate. Any kind of chocolate - nutella, german chocolate, rocky road - anything with chocolate anytime any day :)

A bowl filled with dark chocolate gelato and raspberry sorbet! Such a good combination.

Can't wait to read your new book!

My personal favorite is salted butter caramel. The best flavor EVER.

Peppermint Ice Cream!

I'm a raspberry chocolate chip lover, but that pesky no chocolate thing means Ifall back on my second and third choices: maple walnut or coffee. Or perhaps I should try them mixed!

Pistachio

Your recipe for Malted Milk ice cream (with chopped malt balls) was the best I have made to date. Much thanks for it!

You didn't ask, but my #2 would probably be the one that was just milk, simmered for a while, then churned. Then either lemon-buttermilk or one of your strawberry ice creams...

Absolutely the tiramisu ice cream from The Perfect Scoop - it's become an addiction.

Mmm it is a tough question, but I would have to say lavender honey!

Pistachio gelato. One of those flavors that took me a while to try and now I cannot live without.

Lemon custard

What a fantastic give away, these would greatly compliment my new apartment next month! Favorite commercial ice cream flavor: Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Favorite homemade flavor: Chocolate Peanut Butter. I'm crossing my fingers, avoiding ladders/mirrors and doing the rain dance now....

I love pineapple sorbet or ice cream in a float of pineapple juice. So refreshing in the hot Florida summers.

Garlic ice cream - I tasted it once and it was awesome!! but a little goes a long long long way.

coffee ice cream (with bananas and hot fudge) or mango sorbet.

I just adore coffee ice cream.

Your buttermilk-lemon sorbet is very very good, possibly my favorite. But then the tin roof sundae is a huge hit around these parts. And the lemon ice cream that the speculoos were supposed to go in, but with blueberry sauce rather than cookies. I really want to try the various coffee ice creams too, Vietnamese coffee in particular. And ooh, the peach frozen yogurt was fantastic (though freshy fresh local peaches played a part in that). But all in all, I love the ice cream book, for the simplicity of the ingredient list, and the cleverness behind it all. Thanks for one of my favorite cookbooks.

cassoulet ice cream seems very appealing to me.

Creme fraiche ice cream is my favorite too!

salted caramel
orange-fig
orange-chocolate-mint

Chocolate or any flavor that involves chocolate as a main ingredient!
Can't wait to read the book!

hm, just one? Gianduja, I guess.
Congratulations on the book!

My favorite ice cream flavor used to be vanilla - because if the vanilla is good, all the other flavors would be good, too. But now I make Butter Pecan at home with my ice cream maker (organic heavy cream, saute the pecans in butter -- oh SNAP! I need a cigarette!) Wouldn't it be nice to saute those little babies in a nice, new all-clad stainless steel pan? Oh baby.....

Sorbet - lemon with rosemary. Hands down.

Congrats on the book!

boring but classic... my favorite is still just chocolate :)

Coffee amaretto, english toffee, real vanilla bean are tops in my book. And congrats on your book!

Coconut sorbet is my favorite!

hazelnut gelato! i also love the salted caramel from bi-rite (thanks to your rec)! too bad i live on the east coast and can't have it all the time (or maybe that's actually a good thing). :-)

mmm favs change everytime I try a new one! right now, Butterfinger Crunch Ice Cream, and Lavendar Blueberry Sorbet

i have to pick just one?? well, I guess my current favorite is plain mint chocolate chip.

Mocha Coffee Bean...ice-cream nirvana! Congratulations on the launch of your new book. What a fitting celebration indeed! Have a great day...crumpet muffin top & all!

That is an easy question. Cherries Moobilee which is made by Moomers. Moomers is a small local ice cream maker located in Northern Michigan. The ice cream shop is located at their dairy farm.

The watermelon sorbet from Pozzetto....can't wait for it to come back in season!

All-time favorite, which I can no longer eat due to an unfortunate allergy, is Goo Goo Cluster. I bought it once just for the name and fell in love. It's like Rocky Road for Chuck Norris.

Current favorite - salted caramel. But most flavors will do atop a donut, which is pretty much the greatest thing ever.

My choice would be Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge. And the right man makes it so much sweeter :-)

My favorite ice cream flavor is black pepper cardamom from Crema Cafe in Minneapolis!

My preferred ice cream is chocolate with peanut butter drizzles.

Well, bacon ice cream of course (yes, it does exist).

Congrats on the book!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (icecream)
Rainbow Sorbet....yum!

coffee with dark chocolate chunks

blackberry sorbet

Is all of them an option??? If not, I'll pick fresh mint chocolate chip. Gives you something to do with all that fresh mint before winter sets in.

Pralines and Cream... homemade.

Raspberry sorbet!

Does the winner also get a copy of your book?

I'll go homemade... and no brown-nosing, but honestly, your vanilla recipe is our favorite, hands-down.

Coffee

I love a good Rocky Road!!!!! Can't wait to get your new book!

My favorite flavor is raspeberry
Thank you and best of luck with the new book!
Teresa (I follow your blog in Portugal but my sister lives in Paris!)

I have to pick only ONE???? Really, David, I love reading your posts and all, but ONE FLAVOUR OF ICE CREAM? So long as you don't demand that this is my choice FOREVER and EVER, I suppose I can come up with something. It'll probably only stay true until the end of this competition though, I'm a fickle kind of person when it comes to ice cream.

My favourite flavour of ice cream is the one you get sitting on a harbour wall in an old stone Cornish fishing village in the middle of July - the kind of place where half the shops are hung about with multi-coloured buckets and spades and the other half are filled with watercolours of beach scenes and bits of driftwood artisticly placed in the windows. There'll be an excited dog and some lazy afternoon strollers in the harbour, and a series of cats laid out in the sun, with great big happy grins on their faces. It smells of gently fermenting seaweed and fishing nets, and the sea and the sky are luminous blue, as though you were inside a balloon.

Guess that's not an ACTUAL FLAVOUR. But it's the seasoning, and seasoning brings a dish to life, after all. The ice cream itself is made with Cornish strawberries and Cornish clotted cream. Nothing fancy. Ace ingredients that need no adulteration. And it'll be in one of those sugar cones, not the wafer ones - I've never liked the texture. And I'll know there's fresh fried fish for tea (with asparagus and butter new potatoes), and an afternoon to spend unearthing crabs and shrimps from the rockpools with my dogs first. I never did get over rockpooling.

...Heaven on earth.

My favourite ice cream flavour is good quality, home made vanilla - you can't beat it :)
Best of luck to everyone - this is a wonderful prize!

Mint Oreo Cookie! With chocolate sprinkles! Yum!

chocolate hazelnut gelato!!

There's a shop where I live that makes a "Birthday Cake" ice cream... homemade vanilla ice cream frozen together with mashed up cake, icing and sprinkles included. It's terribly juvenile, but I love it so.

It's so hard to decide on only one flavor... generally I like any ice cream with nuts in it, either a good butter pecan or rocky road. Yum.

Coffee amaretto!

Vanilla bean! Congrats on your new book!

Homemade black raspberry ( right out of the garden ! ) white chocolate chunk!!! YUMMY every time!!!

Mitchell's Double Fudge Chunk (a Cleveland specialty!)

My favorite flavor of icecream is really hazelnut gelato. But sometimes lemon gelato is perfection on a hot summer day.

Ben & Jerry's Phish Food followed very closely by mint chocolate chip. Also, can't wait to read your book!

I like Vanilla. I like to add fruit/chocolate when serving. Vanilla serves so many purposes.

Coffee Oreo.

One can never go wrong with chocolate.

Also, congrats on the book. I shall add to my wishlist for when I next need my cookbook fix (won't be long). :-)

Vanilla with a smidge of bourbon and couintreau

Chocolate ice cream or mango sorbet!!!!
Congratulations on the new book!!!!!

Meyer Lemon Sorbet

Thai Tea Ice cream!

For ice cream, it's hard to beat Tillamook Mudslide from the Tillamook Creamery in Oregon. Strawberry sorbet on a warm summer day in Tuscany may be the ultimate experience, though.

Ben and Jerry's Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz

Stracciatella Gelato....

cherry

My absolute favorite ice cream flavor has always been vanilla. You can never go wrong with vanilla and it goes with so many things! I'm also a big fan of mint cookies and cream, though!

I love Mango sorbet-It is so fresh tasting..feels like a fruit explosion in my mouth!
I also strawberry cheesecake Ice cream-anything cheesecake is good, right?!?!!

Fresh herb mojito sorbet.

Peanut Butter Chocolate

I might have given a different answer here before last week, but Molly Moon (http://www.mollymoonicecream.com) just opened a new ice cream shop down the street where she serves a gorgeous pomegranate curry sorbet. You can't eat more than a few spoonfuls, but you really wish you could.

Hazlenut!

Bacon!

Salted Butter Caramel, a la your fine self. Congrats.

Rocky Road. The little marshmallows make me feel about eight years old again, though when I actually was eight I think I preferred it to other "chocolate with bits of other stuff in it" variations mostly because the name sounded vaguely tough and grown up.

Butter pecan.
Congratulations on your new book. Can't wait to read it.

Pistachio

Salted caramel!!!!!

Creme fraiche!

Cherry Fudge Truffle - yuuummmmyyy..... :0)

Mint chocolate chip...only the white kind :)

Maple Ice Cream or Heath Bar Crunch in Sweet Cream

I've never gotten over the granola ice cream made for a short time in the 80's, so perfect.

I love ginger ice cream!

Chocolate and peanut butter.

Hazelnut sorbet! My boyfriend and I had it when we were living in Rome - it was served in a large hazelnut shell. Ever since we moved back to the States we have been looking for it (or a recipe) and can't find it anywhere! I'd love to find it again or be able to make it on my own...

half strawberry half cookies and cream!

Congratulations David on the new book! I just recently moved, and my mother made me throw away most of my (admittedly old, battered, ugly) pots and pans, so I'd be thrilled to have a new set. My favourite ice cream flavour, ever since I was little, is Pistachio.

My favourite ice cream/sorbet memory is from 2001. My mum and I were terribly jet lagged so climed Notre Dame first thing in the morning as the sun was still rising. After, we waited at a little sorbet shop until it opened and had scoops of mango ice cream before heading back to our hotel at St Germain for breakfast.

So mango. Mmmm.

Congrats on the book! My fave: orange-Szechuan peppercorn.

chocolate with carmel and pecans

Ben and Jerry's 'Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road' Ice Cream... had it this year on free cone day and it is definitely my new favorite.

Daniel Craig? A zizi? Clothing optional shopping? The cookware would be great, but I've got to read this book!

Oh, and my favorite flavor of sorbet is mango, especially when beautiful sliced strawberries have been macerated in lemon and mint, then poured over the sorbet. Mmmm.

Chocolate peanut butter.

peanut butter chocolate

Creme fraiche! (Although I seriously considered switching loyalties when I tried your anise ice cream and blood orange granita combination. Delicious!)

Well, I'm a purist - I like a good chocolate ice cream best. Preferably made from dark chocolate.

I'm a huge fan of Sweet Cream and Cookies by Ben & Jerry's. It's my favorite of all time.

Dark, creamy, calorie-filled chocolate, please!

Chocolate, of course!

Ice cream made with ripe peaches!! A close, very close, second is rum raisin ice cream made with your recipe in The Perfect Scoop.

Definitely chocolate chip cookie dough.

If I have to choose one flavor it would be vanilla, because then I can dress it up any way I want! Thanks for the chance at a set of All-Clad and CONGRATS on the new book!

My favorite ice cream flavor would have to be green tea or rocky road. Yum! Yum! Yum!

congrats mr. lebovitz on your new book!

my favorite ice cream at the moment (i admit, i can't pick just one) is toasted coconut sesame brittle from haagen daaz.

Cookie dough!!

Strawberry or chocolate...Or why not both?

Blood Orange Sorbet is my favorite :o) Though something tells me that if i had an ice cream with lavender or anise in it that my favorite would change!
Congratulations on the book! I can't wait to read it! :oD

I love coconut ice cream. I reminds me of being on holiday.

Peppermint!

My current favourite is Roasted Marshmallow ice cream from Hollywood Gelato in Toronto. Rumour has it that Ben and Jerry's tried to buy the patented recipe but were denied.
I'm telling you, this stuff is as addictive as it gets!

Lemon sorbet.

Your toasted coconut ice cream is my favorite! (And the best!) I love it scooped into a tall frosty glass of home-made ginger-ale. Ice cream soda, perfection.

xoxo
Rachael

straight up chocolate ice cream. yum.

Coffee Oreo ice cream from Ashley's in New Haven makes me happy every time. My other favorite is green tea ice cream. yum.
Congratulations on your new book, I loved your perfect scoop!

lemon sorbet or ginger ice cream

Salted Caramel.

Green tea ice cream has been my favorite since I went to Japan (had some every evening). Hmmm... Green tea ice cream...

Malaga ice cream is my favourite (but only in combination with chocolate). Nom!

Personally, I think I'll stick with a creamy vanilla bean, homemade, with white chocolate straticella... and some cocoa nibs. Yum.

A zizi... my, my. Your adventures...

Extreme Moose Tracks

Green tea!

passion fruit sorbet! preferably with the seeds included, aussie-style. yummy.

Mission to Marzipan (Ben+Jerry's)

If I really have to pick just one, I'd have to go with vanilla because the add-in/on potential is unlimited. Plus, really good vanilla ice cream is REALLY good.

I would have to say either rice pudding gelato or dark chocolate / peanut butter! All Clad is wicked stuff!

Congratulations on the book! It sound wonderful and I can't wait to read it. My favorite flavor is a black raspberry sorbet. We can only make it when the raspberries are in season, but oh what a treat!

Congratulations on your new book! My favorite flavor is haagen dazs melon! So good!

From the Perfect Scoop, I'll say Butterscotch Pecan, but that's a tough question! Congrats on the new book!

Chocolate with peanut-butter cups and fudge.

coffee + toffee

Mango sorbet, nearly any flavor of ice cream. I received an All Clad skillet for a birthday many years ago. I use it all of the time and named it Jacques LePan. When guests come over for a meal, I tell them that Jacques will be helping in the kitchen.

I like hazelnut!

Oh, coffee, absolutely....

I've finally bought myself a good electric ice cream maker, and I'm looking forward to a long summer of experimentation to find out the answer to that question -- I'm pretty sure it will have chocolate somewhere in the recipe, though. "The Perfect Scoop" arrives today, and the first batch rolls out tomorrow!

What a fabulous contest!!! I've been needing some new pots and pans for the longest time ... this would be perfect!!

Ok, favorite flavor -- chocolate with a deep, thick caramel swirl. Oh, heaven on my tongue!!

P.S. Crazy excited about the new book!!! Yippee!!

Congratulations! My favorite flavor is melon ice cream! So good!

Dulce de leche ice cream, no question. Congratulations on your new book!

Anything with lots of chocolate or chocolate chip cookie dough with sprinkles - yum!

Häagen-Dazs French Vanilla and Ben & Jerry's Everything But The. This is an awesome giveaway, btw! Thank you!

Black raspberry and banana.

salted caramel!!!

It's a toss-up between chocolate and dulce de leche, but I rarely turn down any flavor of ice cream or sorbet.

Congratulations on the new book- it looks great!

Favorite ice cream: Aztec Chocolate (homemade of course)

Definitely peanut butter-chocolate...preferably homemade.

MY favorite ice cream flavor is black cherry. Congrats on the new book!

Cookies and cream.

peppermint!!! but really I'll eat any flavor!!

blood orange sorbet.
congrats on the book!

What a great giveaway! My favorite ice cream flavor is mission fig.

My fav is chocolate with peanut butter!

Congratulations on the new book! Your salted butter caramel ice cream is by far the best one I've made and possibly the best I've had.

Wildflower honey ice cream! Per your instructions, of course.

Lemon Olive Oil!

Super rich chocolate ice cream with a swirl of buttery and salty caramel.

I had a dark chocolate gelato once that was just amazing, it would have to be my favorite. Look forward to getting your book - not just for the food tips, but your terrific sense of humor.

coffee ice cream. mango sorbet. yum.

Sweet Cream Praline...and good old mint...sometimes together :) ahhhhh....

Apple Strudel from Gerbeaud Cafe in Budapest!

Avocado!!

Udder Guy's Ice Cream in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island, Canada makes a fantastic "Not Black Licorice" ice cream. Yumm.

My favorite is mocha. I just started making my own ice cream. It is so much fun. Everyday is a new adventure in ice cream.

Raspberry sorbet.

Coffee, coffee, coffee
Congratulations on your book. Love your blog, stories and especially the recipes. Especially loved the rabbit of Seville!!

Butter Pecan!

My grandmother's lemon ice cream.

REAL vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries!

Raspberry Pistachio

Udder Guy's Ice Cream in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island, Canada makes a fantastic "Not Black Licorice" ice cream. Yumm.

cinnamon ice cream

Salted caramel...yum. Throw some chocolate pieces on top, too.

Black Bean! Yes, Black Bean!

My favorite ice cream is the rosemary olive oil ice cream I made last fall - herbaceous, fruity and, topped with a little bit of Malden, surprising.

As for the cookware - it'd be great, but I really just want to say I can't wait to read your book. Thanks!

Congratulations on your new book! My favorite ice cream: mint chip and malted milk (your recipe BTW).

Cookies and cream (today).

Home made caramel.

Growing up my grandmother would make ice cream sandwiches by squishing vanilla icecream between grahmcrackers; the whole thing was to be drowned in home-made chocolate syrup before eating. This, I think, is my favorite combination ever.

Now, I have to say I have a huge weakness for B&J's stoner-style ice creams, especially the Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

Can't wait to read the zizi story! My sister is bringing my copy to Paris so I'll have the pleasure of reading it in just a few weeks.
Favorite sorbet has to be Cassis and favorite ice cream is definitely Gianduja.

Congratulations on your gorgeous book! I'll read it soon!

Favorite Icecream? Pomegranate Sour Cream with bitter chocolate sauce. Yum!

Yogurt, now not, frozen yogurt, but yogurt flavoured ice cream. Well, if not, I just go to Baskin Robins for their Pistachio.

That's tough... I'm such a fan of nearly ALL ice cream and sorbet. Banana... no, mint chip... no, butter pecan, no, fresh strawberry, no, really, really good vanilla ice cream.

My copy of the book arrived yesterday from an Amazon pre-order. I read the first 81 pages in the first tranche, took a short break, and made it to p.215 before I forced myself to put it down. It's smart, laugh-out-loud funny and somehow wisely warm. Truly fantastic. And I'm demanding.

Oh, ice cream? I don't think I'd decline anything but peanut butter, but my favorite is chocolate. Or strawberry. Or the kind that comes in a cup. Or a cone....

Great giveaway! Barring any flight delays, I hope to attend your booksigning at WH Smith in a few weeks. My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate hazelnut/gianduja.

Vanilla! Congratulations on your new book!

Mint chocolate chip

Cookies and cream!

Chai!

Anything from The Perfect Scoop. Okay, fine - CHOCOLATE.

my favorite flavor of sorbet is passionfruit!

Love your blog and congratulations!

Definitely chocolate - looking forward to trying your agave-sweetened....

congrats on the launch of the book :) my favorite flavor is quite simple: coffee

Gianduja. I love the combo of hazelnuts and chocolate!

Definitely red velvet ice cream!!!

I read your website with great interest, it is in my top favorites and the subject is very close to my heart, Paris combined with such lovely food. I visited Paris in March and simply fell in love with it so I am glad to read your stories about how it is to live there.

Btw. my favorite ice cream is Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

I have to be boring and go with vanilla ice cream, here.

Only one flavor? Mint chocolate chip. Or a really good vanilla, like yours....

With mirabelle eau-de-vie. And chocolate. Dark chocolate. And just after noisette. And all alcohol ones.

Mango!! Can't wait to read the book.

Ooh a new book and some new cookware. That's a nice combo!

I'm boring, I love vanilla. There is so much you can do with vanilla, from add ins and swirls! Or enjoy it simply, it's all good!

My favourite flavour is good old vanilla!
Look forward to seeing the book.

Lemon sorbet! Yummm.

My favorite ice cream flavor is Bailey's Irish Cream. :)

Mocha almond fudge! Or Rocky Road.

coffee

Mexican chocolate ice cream, from your cookbook. Here's why: it turned out to be delicious, creamy, chocolate-y, in every way good...but when it hit the back of your throat, it gave it such a kick...why? Instead of using the ancho pepper (I think that was the one)...I substituted cayenne pepper. Bad idea. Later on, after that debacle I discovered the heat factor of Cayenne Pepper vs. ancho pepper and realized why it was too spicy to eat.

So excited for the new book. Lemon sorbet - always refreshing!

Pistachio, of course!

congratulations on the book, david! i'll be sure to check it out asap!

favorite ice cream/sorbet: salted butter caramel ice cream.

My favorite ice cream flavor is tahitian vanilla!

Ahhh... my favorite ice cream is your Vanilla Bean ice cream! I finally got an ice cream and tried your recipe (from the website), and I'm hooked! I will definitely be getting the book soon :)

Pistachio! Nom Nom Nom!

Mint chocolate chip, or peppermint bon-bon as they called it at my local ice cream parlor growing up. But there are many, many close seconds.

Can't wait to read your newest book, even if I have to buy my own copy!

banana nut in summer, pumpkin in winter.

nothing beats a quality vanilla ice cream.

Favorite ice cream ever was Swensen's Sticky Chewy Cholocate. I can't find it anymore so, Rocky Road is now my favorite.

Pistachio, no contest.

chocolate....the darker, the better!

I'm a huge fan of plain old vanilla, but on special occasions, I also like mint chocolate chip :)

Salted butter Caramel without a doubt. All it took was the first taste..

anise

mint chocolate chip ice cream (preferably not green, thanks). but there are so many more flavors to try!

congratulations on the book.

Oooooh - I want to play!

Can't wait to read your new book btw.

My TOP ice creams are the following: pumpkin, peppermint, green tea, cinnamon. I must have a thing for seasonal flavors. I think if I had to pick only one I'd have to say pumpkin. Yummmm!

Vanilla, or maybe coffee... too many choices!

Congratulations on your new book!

Chocolate sorbet with a touch of espresso!

Jamoca Almond Fudge from Baskin Robbins. Our BR closed, so when I travel in the States, I try to find one.

Congrats on the book - if I don't win - I'll be picking up a copy!

cookies and cream from childhood days, chocolate dipped strawberry as an adult.

I promise I'm not trying to enter twice, I think my comments last night did not post! love the looks of the marshmallow and coconut.

Butter Pecan!

my favorite flavor of ice cream is honey and my favorite sorbet is lime. :))

coffee!

My favorite is vanilla - with the sadly discontinued Paul Newman's Obscene Vanilla Bean being my favorite "grocery store" variety.

It's hard to pick a favourite, but I do love pink grapefruit and campari sorbet. Congratulations on the book, can't wait to read it!

Congrats on the new book! Can't wait to order it! My favourite flavour of ice cream is pistachio. Love that stuff. Too bad I'm on the pre-wedding starvation diet!

Cinnamon ice cream is my absolute favorite!

It's so hard to choose but I would be hard-pressed to turn down chocolate peanut butter ice cream. If I'm in a lighter mood, I might go with french vanilla with chocolate chunks.

Ducle de Leche all the way

Caramel au beurre salé

Congrats on the book!

When I was a teenager, my sister made the most intense ginger ice cream. It was soooo good and I've been trying to find something similar ever since. So far the closest I've come is taking Hagen Daas new ginger ice cream (the one with only five ingredients), softening it up and stirring in chunks of crystallized ginger, and then topping it will some more crystallized ginger. Not that I'm into excess or anything.

Malted milk.

black cherry ice cream with a dark chocolate sauce

Looking forward to getting the book....

My favorite flavor is White Chocolate from Christina's in Cambridge, MA. They now have a spice shop next door where they sell the same fresh spices used in their ice creams. Cinnamon nutmeg from Steve's in Somerville MA (long gone) was amazingly excellent with their not-too-sweet chocolate fudge sauce. My current favorite occasional treat is a malted made with Malted Vanilla from Herrell's (related to Steve's) chocolate syrup and extra malt.

Red bean ice cream is particularly tasty! Yum!

Congrats on the book, David. I'm looking forward to picking up a copy. :)

♥Homemade vanilla bean icecream. And when I'm feeling particularly hormonal the chocolate icecream you posted some time ago. ☺

Raspberry Chocolate Chip from Sebastien Joe's! Perfect combination of fruit and chocolate crunch!

The banana ice cream we made when I was a little kid (frozen in the infamous leftover cool whip containers).

Best ice cream I've ever had is strawberry balsamic at Bi-Rite in San Francisco. I've tried to replicate it at home but can't quite make it!

Butter scotch with caramet topping ,hmm hmm Yum !!

Mango, ice cream or sorbet, it doesn't matter! I love it!

Blood orange sorbet and fig icecream.

anything citrus! plain ole orange is best.

definitely strawberry, haagen dazs style! something about their strawberry tastes better than all the rest! I'm headed to paris in 2 weeks so I'll definitely be picking up the book before I go!

My favorite ice cream flavor is definitely nocciola and I love sorbet made of golden kiwi fruits.

lingonberry gelato

Grapefruit sorbet - had this in Italy and have loved it ever since.

Cheryl

Definitely nougat with orange blossom water.
Wish me luck!

Ice cream - Dark chocolate.

Sorbet - Raspberry.

My favorite flavor of sorbet is cassis!

I've never posted on a blog before, but I have been a dedicated reader of your's for the past year or so...so it's about time for me to tell you how much I appreciate your stories. As a Frenchie who grew up in both Berkeley and Paris, I can relate to your stories and cultural observations. Oh, and your food always looks scrumptious.
Thanks for the great posts!

Black raspberry icecream with dark chocolate chips. Your new book is supposed to arrive today!

Congratulations David!

I will certainly be looking for the easiest way to get your book here in Sweden. And I am always looking for a reason to take another trip to London, picking up my new All-Clad would be a great one.

As a child my favorite sorbet was rainbow and I still have an addiction to chocolate ice cream. As a matter of fact the more chocolate the better.

Congrats again and good luck with huge sales!

Ronald

Hmm, I think it's a tie between mango sorbet and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

Chocolate all the way!! And congratulations on the book :)

Congratulations on the new book!!! :) I can't wait to read it.

My favorite ice cream is pistachio. In fact, searching for this recipe for my new ice cream maker is how I found you! :) I've other ice creams and sorbets I like, but since pistachio is hard to find where I am I finally broke down and got a maker and looked for a recipe.
