BOOK: Sweet Spot + giveaway

June 23, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’m a HUGE ice cream fan, even though I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Did you know that the average American will eat 22 lbs of ice cream a year? What’s your favorite flavor? Rocky Road? Wasabi Mint? Or plain old Vanilla? I love unique flavors and this is why, when I came across Amy Ettinger’s book SWEET SPOT: An Ice Cream Binge Across America, I was hooked.

 

SWEET SPOT is a single-subject book on ice cream and Ettinger takes the matter seriously. In the book she travels from coast to coast seeking out the weirdest flavors, most innovative entrepreneurs, and everything in between. Would you be game enough to try foie gras ice cream? I know I am! I’ve tried garlic ice cream, beet ice cream, but would I be brave enough to try vanilla ice cream with toffee coated mealworms? I think so!

If you’re an ice cream aficionado, then this book will appeal to you, and your obsession with ice cream! I love how Ettinger writes the entire book from her own point of view. The book has in-depth interviews, recipes, fun facts, and shocking history about our favorite delicious treat.

The book is available from Amazon.com

I have a copy of Sweet Spot for one of my readers to WIN. Please leave me a comment with your FULL name and tell me what your favorite ice cream flavors are, and what are some unique flavors you’re excited to try. Entries close on Sunday, July 2nd, 2017.

    My favorite combo to get as Baskin Robbins is a scoop of mint chip and a scoop of rocky road. They always think I want the scoops in separate cups. Nope. Together please!

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
