"Los Secretos del Helado" by Angelo Corvitto – free download

[teonzo]

"Los Secretos del Helado" is in my opinion the best professional book ever written about ice-creams. Originally it was printed only in Spanish language, I searched the forum and in some past threads some users complained about this.

But now it's available for free download in English and Italian language:

This is a mandatory book for all ice-cream makers.

Thank you for sharing that information.

Its what makes eGullet worthwhile.

The book looks to have lots of good stuff, but glancing through a couple of the chapters, there are a few typos and such.

A lot of effort has clearly gone into the 'look' of the thing ...

I look forward to studying it properly!

[paulraphael]

Awesome! Thanks.

His website also has a lot of the technique information in a nicely distilled format.

Thank you teonzo for alerting us all to this book. I've downloaded the first two sections and will work at it bit by bit until I have it all. Thanks.

I'm just being paranoid because I've been the past victim of getting my computer infected with viruses so can anybody confirm first confirm that the link is safe before I download it.

I've had it downloaded for just over 24 hours now with ostensibly no problems.

sorry to bring this old thread into life again. anybody an idea if the download still works, or am i just too stupid? the price for the book is out of space............

[Darienne]

I seem to recall having downloaded the entire book a long time ago. Alas! I can't seem to find it. I'll look again.

And no, I can't get it to download now.

Very slow on the uptake. I see from posts above from August 2011 that I did download it all. And now I can't find it. Hvae been through my files twice.

DISREGARD that last post. I found the entire download. Now how to get it to you, ninagluck.

[ninagluck]

if you don't mind: ninagluck@gmx.at

you made my day!

[Darienne]

I am sending by private email the contents of the ice cream book, downloaded legitimately two years ago, to two eGullet members. The book is huge and if there is anyone else who wants it, please tell me now. I don't have very high speed internet and it will be some work to send the chapters. No, I don't mind at all, but I am unlikely to do it twice.

Thanks.

If I'm not too late, I'd love a copy too, Darienne! sally@sallyandbrad.com. Thanks so much!!

[Darienne]

I am still receiving requests for the book, so I will leave it another 24 hours before I begin to mail it out.

[Bojana]

I sent you a PM, thanks

[PassionateAmateur]

I sent you one as well, if I'm not too late!

Thank you.

[Darienne]

I sent you one as well, if I'm not too late!

Thank you.

If I receive a few more requests, I will mail the book out again. Or perhaps one of the persons to whom I mailed it and who has faster service than I do, will mail it to you.
