Gelato Messina takes everything you knew about traditional gelati and blows it out of the water. Gelato Messina is THE gelati book that takes you to a whole new level, with unique recipes that result in the frozen works of art that are synonymous with this famous Sydney establishment.

Gelato Messina is split into two sections: one features basic recipes along with step-by-step instructions and technique tips on how to make the foundation flavours commonly used in Gelato Messina's work - try Dulce De Leche, Pear and Rhubarb, Poached Figs in Masala or Salted Caramel and White Chocolate; the second showcases Gelato Messina's spectacular gelati cakes and mini-creations. Learn how to make Gelato Messina's signature gelato cake, Hazelnut Zucotto, or indulge in a Royal with Cheese, ice cream-style. These recipes will challenge everything you believed about ice cream, but the results will be worth it.

Nick Palumbo

Nick Palumbo’s family hail from Messina in Sicily. Yet he has solidified his legendary identity within Australia: bringing Messina to us. After making gelato out of a factory under the name Gelativo, Nick decided to open a small gelato shop in Sydney’s Darlinghurst.

His ethos was to create the best gelato possible, using only the freshest ingredients, from scratch. Over time, he developed the individual, experimental, elaborate flavours that his stores are so famous for today. Not only are the Messina stores achieving great things—wih stores open in Australia, China, New Zealand and America—but Nick is personally achieving great things.

He is the official chef for the Carpigiani Gelato University in Australia and New Zealand In 2011 he opened an ice cream lab, which is responsible for the ice cream works of art and single serve cakes that fill Gelato Messina’s shop windows.

The basic recipe requires ingredients that I have had a lot of trouble purchasing. Dextrose - doable, but some collection of ingredients called 'stabilisers' has proved difficult - not even one stockist is listed in the book. The book says to Google gelato ingredient suppliers, but I have found none that sell to homecooks. How am I supposed to source these ingredients?

Pretty book, well designed, but just not practical, and I was ready with my ice-cream machine, thermometer and a million ingredients ready to learn.
