About the Book:

The creative flavor geniuses at Salt & Straw, the wildly successful small-batch ice cream brand, bring you the absolute best versions of classic American flavors . . . and zillions of ways to riff, twist, and spin them into outrageous new scoops.
Known for his wildly inventive flavors, Tyler Malek, Salt & Straw’s cofounder, takes us on a deep dive into what makes ten iconic flavors such beloved classics—including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and more. Using their signature, supersimple base recipes, he presents perfected, ultimate recipes for America’s favorite flavors. But since creativity is still at his core, Malek shares 75 more recipes riffing off those classics, like Smoked-Cherry Vanilla, Chili Crisp Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and Coffee Toffee Banoffee.



About Salt & Straw:

Salt & Straw was co-founded by Tyler and his cousin Kim Malek more than 13 years ago, with the idea of creating small-batch artisanal ice cream using the best possible ingredients. With a vision of using ice cream to tell the story of artisans, farmers and meaningful food moments, Salt & Straw built a significant following for its creative and unexpected flavors. Today, Tyler and Kim have firmly established Salt & Straw as one of the most popular ice cream shops in America, with Tyler receiving accolades such as being named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 for “Changing the Way America Eats” and an Eater “Young Gun,” among others. While Tyler continues to push the boundaries of ice cream flavors through Salt & Straw’s monthly rotating menus that reflect culinary trends, seasonality of ingredients, and relevant cultural moments, Salt & Straw maintains its commitment to always serving the best versions of classics like Double Fold Vanilla and Sea Salt Caramel Ribbons.



About the Author:

Tyler Malek is head ice cream maker and co-founder for Salt & Straw Ice Cream. Malek has opened 60 locations, created more than 1,600 flavors, collaborating with James Beard Award-winning chefs, renowned food artisans, and local farms.
