Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook

Description:

Using a simple five-minute base recipe, you can make the “brilliant” (Andrew Zimmern), “astonishingly good” (Ruth Reichl) flavors of the innovative “ice cream gods” (Bon Appétit) Salt & Straw at home. 
 
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE SEASON BY Eater • Delish • Epicurious

Based out of Portland, Oregon, Salt & Straw is the brainchild of two cousins, Tyler and Kim Malek, who had a vision but no recipes. They turned to their friends for advice—chefs, chocolatiers, brewers, and food experts of all kinds—and what came out is a super-simple base that takes five minutes to make, and an ice cream company that sees new flavors and inspiration everywhere they look.
 
Using that base recipe, you can make dozens of Salt & Straw’s most beloved, unique (and a little controversial) flavors, including Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Roasted Strawberry and Toasted White Chocolate, and Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.
 
But more importantly, this book reveals what they’ve learned, how to tap your own creativity, and how to invent flavors of your own, based on whatever you see around you. Because ice cream isn’t just a thing you eat, it’s a way to live.

Praise for Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook

“Making ice cream at home is already enough of a mental hurdle. . . . Salt & Straw is out to prove us wrong with a new cookbook . . . making crazy ice cream flavors is
more than doable—it’s addictive.”Portland Monthly

“The approachable, you-can-do-this nature of the book should be all that home cooks need to try it out.”
—Eater

“I originally sought out this book solely because of the Meyer Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Custard. . . . It is
the greatest ice cream flavor that’s ever existed and, because it’s only a seasonal flavor in their stores, I needed the recipe so I could make it whenever I wanted.”Bon Appétit

“A cookbook dedicated to ice cream? Yes, please. This is essential reading for Salt & Straw fans.”
—Food & Wine

“Few of America’s many ice cream makers are as seasonally minded and downright creative as Salt & Straw co-founder Tyler Malek.”
—GrubStreet

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ice cream recipe book ever

N.P. · September 29, 2025

This is the best ice cream recipe book I've ever used. It's taught me so much about the basics and chemistry of making ice cream. I've made about 10 recipes so far and each one is fantastic. There's a bit of a learning curve but I'd say the level is still easy. Once you know how to make a good ice cream base, the sky is the limit. I've now even taken some of the ideas and made my own variations. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here is a list of the included recipes - Great Book

P. · April 14, 2020

I always thought ice cream was good, but then I had Salt & Straw. It made me realize that ice cream can be incredible. Ice cream can embody complex flavors that evolve across your palette has you eat them, and they don't have to revolve around what combinations of sugary treats you want to add to them. Sadly, I don't live in a state that has salt and straw, and after trying every highly rated local ice cream shop, I was disappointed to find them all to be uninspired sugary nonsense.So I set out to make my own ice cream, and though I am only a week into my journey, I am already making better ice cream than anything I have found locally. This book is full of tons of recipes (listed below), and while some of them sound strange, much of the strangeness is certainly not a novelty. The flavors are complex and mind blowing, thing's you'd never expect to be delicious are so. Anyways, this is an eye opening book, and Tyler talks a lot about what he learned from making these different flavors within the book as well, which is great for educating yourself for future experimentation.The flavor recipes in this book are as follows:The Bases:Ice Cream BaseSorbet (or Gelato) BaseCoconut Ice Cream Base (Dairy Free)The Classics:Arbequina Olive OilStumptown Coffee and Burnside BourbonFreckled Woodblock ChocolateChocolate Gooey BrownieXocolatl de David’s Bacon Raleigh BarDandelion Chocolate’s Roasted Cacao Bean GelatoCinnamon SnickerdoodleSea Salt with Caramel RibbonsAlmond Brittle with Salted GanacheStrawberry Honey Balsamic with Black PepperPear and Bleu CheeseDouble Fold VanillaRoasted Strawberry & Toasted White ChocolateSalted Caramel Bars & Coconut CreamThe Brewers Series:India Pale AleSmoked HefeweizenHopped Farmhouse AleHopricot GelatoImperial Stout Milk Sorbet w/ Blackberry-Fig JamThe Flower Series:Wildflower Honey w/ Ricotta Walnut Lace CookiesHoney LavenderRose City RiotGrand Poppy-Seed SherbertDandellion Bitters Sorbet with Edible FlowersThe Berry Series:Meyer Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk CustardBlack Raspberry Cobbler Fro-yoGoat Cheese Marionberry HabaneroForaged-Berry SherbertStrawberry-Cilantro SorbetThe Farmer’s Market Series:Caramel Corn on the CobCauliflower Garam MasalaGreen Apple & Mayo SherbertRoasted Parsnip & Banana SorbetAquabeet SorbetThe Student Inventor Series:Olde PeopleThe Kail CreeasheonChocolate SardinesSkittles Rainbow SherbertStop, Guac, & RollThe Spooktacular Series:Amortentia SorbetEssence of GhostCreepy Crawly CrittersGrandma Dracula’s Blood PuddingThe Great CandycopiaThe Thanksgiving Table-to-Cone Series:Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple PecansButtered Mashed Potatoes and GravyCranberry-Apple StuffingSalted Caramel Thanksgiving TurkeyPumpkin Custard & Spiced Goat CheeseThe Holiday Series:Peppermint Cocoa with Homemade Peppermint PattiesGingerbread Cookie DoughApple Brandy & Pecan PieButter-Roasted ChestnutFennel Five-Spice Eggnog

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, delicious cookbook. I'm hooked.

m.j. · July 8, 2025

What a fun cookbook. Easy to see why it won awards. Very instructive! Insightful and simple instructions. A few items seem regional and a little harder to find. The way the book was photographed is very top shelf and whimsical -- and fun. There are desserts included in the book, I like that, but did confuse me sometimes when I was looking for my next ice cream project. Would have been nice to see some substitutes for harder to find ingredients, and personally I would like to see some low fat (?), lower sugar, higher protein options -- with all the rich flavor, please

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting flavors, but unusually meaty

C.W. · June 16, 2024

This has got to be the strangest ice cream book I own. I own a lot of ice cream books, and I've made a lot of ice cream, and I like daring and unusual flavors, but this one takes the cake (pun absolutely intended). I've read through it pretty carefully and tried a caramel sauce from the book, though not any of the ice creams yet, and well ... it's weird. It's not bad by any means, just unexpected.Not because of its unusual flavors (of which it has many), but in its combination of flavors. Most ice cream cookbooks include recipes for three things: 1) classic flavors, 2) house specialties, and 3) mix-ins and toppings.Every ice cream shop is going to have the classics: vanilla, chocolate, mint, caramel, strawberry, coffee, etc., and most ice cream cookbooks are going to include the author's take on those. S&S on the other hand has only one, a recipe for double-fold vanilla. All the other house specialties utilize classic flavors (examples: strawberry-honey balsamic with black pepper ice cream, or salted sweet cream ice cream with caramel ribbons).In other words, this book leans extremely heavily on the house specialties (which I kind of like), and I love trying new combinations and unusual flavors. But ... ice cream happens to be something that is reliably vegetarian (if not vegan), and this book is no exception. As a long-time mostly-vegetarian, that is also something I appreciate, but as a pragmatist, I'm fine with the fact that most ice cream books are going to have at least one recipe that includes candied bacon, and there is one such offering here (bacon caramel).But it doesn't stop with bacon; the irony makes me giggle a little. It has recipes for/including turkey (turkey skin/stock/boullion/fat), chicken (stock/boullion/fat/skin), gelatin, and …. pork blood. Take a gander:Xocolatl De David’s Bacon Raleigh Bar Ice Cream (gelatin and bacon)Chocolate "Sardines" Ice Cream (gelatin)Creepy Crawly Critters Ice Cream (candied bugs)Grandma Dracula’s Blood Pudding Ice Cream (pig blood)Buttered Mashed Potatoes & Gravy Ice Cream (chicken stock and bouillon)Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey Ice Cream (turkey stock, bouillon, and skin)Some of the omnivorous recipes actually sound pretty good, and if I still ate meat, I'd happily give them a try (the Xocolatl one is salted sweet cream ice cream with chocolate-covered pecans, caramel infused with bacon, and chocolate marshmallow nougat, and the "Sardines" recipe is chocolate with chunks of Swedish Fish-infused jello). There is one I might learn to like if I could get past the crunchy chitin from bugs (the creepy crawly flavor is tequila, orange, and matcha ice cream with chocolate-covered crickets and coconut-toffee candied insects). But the last three kinda turn my stomach (brandied chocolate pig's blood, mashed potato ice cream with white chocolate/chicken bouillon ripple, and turkey ice cream with turkey skin brittle). I don't think I'd like those even if I were still omnivorous.But those recipes aside, 51 of the 57 recipes are vegetarian, and there are many that sound great, in particular Stumptown Coffee & Burnside Bourbon Ice Cream, Almond Brittle With Salted Ganache Ice Cream, and the Honey-Lavender. There are many others that sound delicious as well.As for the mix-ins, they are pretty standard, including the usual chocolate sauces and brittles, cookies, and brownies. The caramel sauce is really quite excellent - it remains pliable when frozen (kitchen chemistry to the rescue!), instead of turning hard like stiff taffy the way most caramels do when cold.It uses a philosophy that I really like, providing three different bases to which you add flavorings: an ice cream base, a sorbet base, and even a vegan ice cream base.The vegan base is another area where they get weird. First of all, the presence of a base suggests that it's neutral-flavored and easily adaptable, but they only use it in a single recipe, and they give zero instructions for using it with other flavors. In fact, their vegan base probably cannot be widely used as it is STRONGLY coconutty, and the coconut would overshadow most other flavors. So, this feels (particularly in the context of a meatier-than-usual offering) almost phoned-in, only included so they can claim it's vegan-friendly when it really isn't.So: if you are looking for vegan desserts, look elsewhere (it doesn't even include sorbets which are typically vegan). But if you are interested in interesting flavors, this might be a fine choice. So, 4 stars because it's got lots of exciting flavors for me to try, losing one star for lack of dairy-free options.

Just like the creamery - this book gives you ideas into a different realm for ice cream. Don't expect classics! IT gives you fun takes on flavours and is very creative.

Bom livro

Great recipes

A.C. · April 7, 2020

Really nice book from what seems like a good company. Simple to follow recipes so far that produce great results having made 6-7 in a Kitchenaid ice cream stand mixer.

Love the whole principal of how they do thigs, the "ice cream base" great!

G.W. · October 1, 2022

Most of the recipes take more time than I have, I still run a business and am President of our Rotary Club, so I spend time reading the recipes and planning which complex one to try. I'm thinking of the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache. So maybe later today I'll make the almond brittle, and tomorrow the chocolate ganache - I already have a batch of the ice-cream base - so then I could make the ice cream later in the day tomorrow. If you enjoy making, eating and thinking about ice cream every day - you will love this book. Entertaining and full of innovative ideas

Great American style icecream

D. · August 29, 2020

Lovely cookbook, lots of recipes and very inventive. Unfortunately the whole book is based on 3 types of ice cream and the all of the range - ice cream,sorbet and coconut (dairy free) uses corn syrup and xanthan gum. I dislike the use of corn syrup, maybe as I live in Australia and can't source easily, and its use in all things American. I would have appreciated more variety in the types of ice cream base.

Ice cream recipe with a different twist

b.h. · January 27, 2020

The book is a very interesting read but many of the recipes are just way too out there for me e.g. pigs blood, bacon, turkey and the like. Anyone who likes to make a party conversation will love it. Whilst I love to experiment it wasn't for me. I also wanted recipes without eggs, the book delivers here but the recipes are more like sorbet, e.g. icy and I was hoping for a eggless smooth ice cream, I have played around to improve this but no success yet. I used the base recipe to make lime and choc chip, the family loved it, and it was certainly refreshing. I am still happy to have it as part of my library.

Really nice book from what seems like a good company. Simple to follow recipes so far that produce great results having made 6-7 in a Kitchenaid ice cream stand mixer.

Love the whole principal of how they do thigs, the "ice cream base" great!

Most of the recipes take more time than I have, I still run a business and am President of our Rotary Club, so I spend time reading the recipes and planning which complex one to try. I'm thinking of the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache. So maybe later today I'll make the almond brittle, and tomorrow the chocolate ganache - I already have a batch of the ice-cream base - so then I could make the ice cream later in the day tomorrow. If you enjoy making, eating and thinking about ice cream every day - you will love this book. Entertaining and full of innovative ideas

Great American style icecream

Lovely cookbook, lots of recipes and very inventive. Unfortunately the whole book is based on 3 types of ice cream and the all of the range - ice cream,sorbet and coconut (dairy free) uses corn syrup and xanthan gum. I dislike the use of corn syrup, maybe as I live in Australia and can't source easily, and its use in all things American. I would have appreciated more variety in the types of ice cream base.

Ice cream recipe with a different twist

b.h. · January 27, 2020

The book is a very interesting read but many of the recipes are just way too out there for me e.g. pigs blood, bacon, turkey and the like. Anyone who likes to make a party conversation will love it. Whilst I love to experiment it wasn't for me. I also wanted recipes without eggs, the book delivers here but the recipes are more like sorbet, e.g. icy and I was hoping for a eggless smooth ice cream, I have played around to improve this but no success yet. I used the base recipe to make lime and choc chip, the family loved it, and it was certainly refreshing. I am still happy to have it as part of my library.
