MORE CHUNKS LESS BUNK

Now they share all the recipes and techniques that have been made them nationwide heroes. Specially adapted to make at home, there are 90 recipes in all, including sorbets, summer slushes, giant sundaes and other ice-cream concoctions.

Bio

Ben Cohen has been a Pinkerton Guard, a garbage man, and a short-order cook. He began seriously testing ice-cream flavors at the age of five.

Jerry Greenfield has worked as a lab technician. He is glad he was not admitted to medical school.

Nancy Stevens is a magazine and newspaper writer who has been published in the Saturday Review, the New York Times, the Village Voice, and Working Woman.

Tells the story of Ben & Jerry's ice cream company, and shares recipes for chocolate, fruit, and other flavors of ice cream, sorbets, sundaes, and sauces.

Presenting more than 90 recipes that are easy to make with even an unsophisticated ice-cream maker, "Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book" is spiced with bright, quirky illustrations in full color.

With little skill, surprisingly few ingredients, and even the most unsophisticated of ice-cream makers, you can make the scrumptious ice creams that have made Ben and Jerry's an American legend.

BEN and JERRY'S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM and DESSERT BOOK tells fans the story behind the company and the two men who built it-from their first meeting in 7th-grade gym class (they were already the two widest kids on the field) to their "graduation" from a $5.00 ice-cream-making correspondence course to their first ice-cream shop in a renovated gas station.

But the best part comes next. Dastardly Mash, featuring nuts, raisins, and hunks of chocolate. The celebrated Heath Bar Crunch. New York Super Fudge Chunk. Oreo Mint. In addition to Ben and Jerry's 11 greatest hits, here are recipes for ice creams made with fresh fruit, with chocolate, with candies and cookies, and recipes for sorbets, sundaes, and baked goods. The 90-plus authentic recipes are spiced with Lyn Severance's bright, quirky, full-color illustrations. Over 383,000 copies in print.
