Win: Melt ice-cream book

Melt by Claire Kelsey

If you’ve ever fancied dabbling with your own home-made ice-cream – then i’ve got a fantastic new book to giveaway – well 2 copies of it actually.

Perky looking ice cream queen Claire Kelsey, pictured above in her retro van, is the owner of Manchester-based Ginger’s Comfort Emporium. She’s been knocking people’s hats off at food and music festivals with her quirky flavours of ice cream.

She romped home as the overall winner of the 2012 British Street Food Awards and also landed the Best Dessert award for her intriguing sounding Marmalade on Toast ice cream.

If you’re a flavour experimentalist then this is definitely the book for you, with some really quite out there combinations going on:

  • Guinness and gingerbread
  • Chocolate, red wine, clove and black pepper
  • White chocolate and pink peppercorn

But there are also some less challenging utterly delicious sounding ones like

  • Sloe Gin Fizz
  • Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel
  • Rhubarb and ginger sorbet

Mmmmm if the sun won’t come out i’ll be making these flavours anyway godammit! If you want to try and catch Claire and her ice cream wares up close then visit her website for her latest events.

Otherwise, read on to find out how you can enter my competition to recreate her recipes at home…

    Very difficult because I love ice cream but if I ever go anywhere and I see banana then I just have to have it!

  18. Maria Turner says

    lavender – yummy!

    although I do love a Cornish clotted cream and amaretto too [ok, I know thats 3 but Libran’s just can’t choose!] 🙂

    I’m really into peanut butter and salted caramel flavours at the moment.

  114. Avril says

    Watermelon ice-cream is one of my favourite flavours after trying it on holiday one year. These in Melt sound gorgeous and some very unusual combos to try out too.

  123. Rachael Barratt says

    My favourite is vanilla ice cream made with a little bit of Baileys. Yum!

  126. Jaymes Glew says

    I used to LOVE the ‘jaffa choc’ flavour from our local ice cream place but it’s unfortunately shut down now. Anything chocolately for me – the more chocolate, the better

  134. Linda Bird says

    After being a chocolate ice cream fan for years I am finding that as I am getting older coffee ice cream is now my favourite.

  141. kiran parry says

    It has to be chocolate. Chocolate is nice with whatever you have and chocolate ice cream is really nice.

  151. Joanne Welsh says

    An ice cream place here does the most amazing wild strawberry ice cream, love it

  156. Danielle Graves says

    I like mint choc chip ice cream

    Although a few years ago Walls used to do an ice cream that had 5 fruity flavours in – those were lush!

  162. Laura Caraher says

    This book looks fab, my favourite ice cream flavour has to be Pistachio 🙂

  170. Alison Green says

    I do like strawberry, but in the past have tried to make some more unusual flavours myself. Starwberry pavlova was yummy, but time consuming unless you buy in the merange lol.
