Pidapipó: BY LISA VALMORMIDA

This book’s super cute graphics immediately tipped us in its favour. But without them we’d still be sold. The author’s Melbourne gelato store has daily queues – with this book you can give her fun flavours a go yourself. Note: you will need a gelato maker. Try her Fresh Mint Gelato with a Passionfruit and Coconut Pavlova. Or how about a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge Gelato Cookie Sandwich? Lisa studied at a gelato university (yes, you read that right) so who better to learn from. Hardie Grant Books – $44.99 (hb)
