Chile-heads,

Believing that gelato (but never tasted) was more like sorbet or sherbet
and hearing otherwise from all of you, I searched the Gourmet magazine
site:  
http://eat.epicurious.com/recipes/

Then did the search for gelato; this gave fifteen recipes ranging in
richness from cream, milk, and eggs through water, fruit, egg whites. 

The referenced gelato article in Gourmet July 1999 (page 94) gives a bit
of history and says that there are three main schools of gelato-making
in Italy each characterized by varying degrees of richness.

And...for those who are interested:  the Cuisinart ice cream maker sells
most places now at a street prices of $59.95.  However, Chef's Catalog
out of Texas 
http://chefscatalog.com/home.jhtml sells it at that price, but also
throws in an extra freezer bowl worth $29.

Cheers,
