Frozen Delights

Linda Burum. Scribner Book Company, $12.95 (225pp) ISBN 978-0-684-18584-2

From the author of Brownies and Asian Pasta, this collection of more than 300 mouth-watering recipes embraces the range of frozen delights: ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, frozen yogurt, tofulato, ice-cream pies, cakes, souffles and mousses. Chocoholics will swoon over the 17 recipes for chocolate ice cream, which include a Mexican chocolate ice cream with cinnamon, a ""blackout'' chocolate gelato and a frozen quadruple-chocolate ``suicide'' layer cake. In addition to the sweet selections, there are some savory offerings: cucumber-mint sorbet and sweet red-pepper sorbet with tequila. Burum's recipes are well-written and leave little to chance.
