I was just perusing that site a couple of days ago. He reprints a Dorie
Greenspan recipe called Korova Cookies that looks great - see

Its got to be cafe suda - Vietnamese Iced Coffee - you must have had it?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_iced_coffee
I have the Lebovitz book on my Amazon wishlist, and the ice cream looks
great, so I'm going to have to try it.

Thanks for posting the link here.
