April is a big one for ice cream and print publishing. Two noted ice cream shops in the Mission District, Bi-Rite Creamery and Humphry Slocombe, are coming out with recipe books. So, if you've always wanted to use that Krups ice cream machine cylinder that has been sitting in your freezer for years, be sure to buy one of these books. You're certain to dazzle family and friends. Anyway, the latter ice cream store's book, Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones, features 90 truly astounding recipes. Seriously. They're fascinating. But our favorite recipe also has our favorite intro. Behold:

Everyone who works at the Creamery call this ice cream "Magic of the '80s." The name came about thanks to a not-so-favorable review on Yelp, in which the reviewer derided the combination of white chocolate and raspberries for being "very '80s." True, the combination was popular back then, but for good reason: the tartness of the raspberries perfectly offsets the creaminess of the white chocolate. The guest eventually took down the review, began dating one of our bakers (they are now engaged!), and now enjoys all the flavors of ice cream (even this one!) with great regularity.

First, there's just nothing inherently wrong with anything that's too '80s or too '90s, food-wise. Loads of good gastronomic ideas came from those remarkable decades. We eagerly await the return of canapes, in fact. Second, a Yelper and a baker married each other?! That's as scandalous as a blogger and commenter getting hitched. Hell, that's as crazy a blogger or commenter dating at all. We're shocked! But thrilled for the couple.

You can pre-order Bi-Rite Creamery's Sweet Cream & Sugar Cones on Amazon. Publication date is set for April 17. The Humphry Slocombe ice cream book, simply titled Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book, arrives on shelves April 25.
