“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Gelato Di Crema

 

Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 cup milk, at room temperature
1 pinch salt
1 lemon peel strip (2-in)
1 cup whipping cream



 

Preparation

BEAT SUGAR AND EGG YOLKS together until pale yellow and very thick.
Slowly add milk, beating gently to avoid a build-up of foam. Add
lemon peel and stir in salt. Transfer mixture to the top of a double
boiler with an inch of boiling water in the bottom half. Regulate
heat so water remains at a low boil, and stir continuously 8 minutes.
Custard will thicken enough to coat the spoon, and surface foam will
disappear. Immediately remove top of double boiler and set it in a
large bowl of cold water. Stir 2 minutes to cool custard somewhat.
Then transfer it to a bowl, cover, and set in refrigerator to chill
thoroughly. Also chill whipping cream. When ready to proceed, whip
cream into soft peaks. Remove lemon peel from custard and fold in
whipped cream. Transfer mixture to ice cream machine and freeze
according to machine's directions. Makes 1 Quart
