If you’ve ever walked by a Made by Marcus ice cream shop on a hot summer day, chances are you saw people lining up down the block for a cold and delicious scoop or two.
While that beloved experience isn’t going away anytime soon (thankfully), you can now also learn how to make ice cream at home with the help of a new ice cream cookbook by Marcus Purtzki, who owns the Calgary-based company with six locations across Calgary and Edmonton.
The Made by Marcus cookbook ($45) will spark your culinary creativity and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time with 50 innovative ice cream recipes. Split up by seasons, it features a wide range of enticing and unique flavours, and chances are you’ll see some of your favourites from previous shop visits. The book doesn’t hold back on the creativity with flavours like taber corn and blackberry, black cherry and anise, rose lychee raspberry, and even fried chicken and waffles.
The straightforward, easy-to-follow instructions and fun, colourful photography make this book a joy to peruse. A pleasing mix of personal stories, ice-cream-making tips and recipes for ice cream inclusions completes the reading and cooking experience.
