Here at Serious Eats we always love ice cream, but come summer, we get a little shameless. Temperature above 80 degrees? We're totally eating ice cream for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The next logical step was obviously to devote the entire month of July to ice cream (and some gelato and other frozen treats as well.) Get ready for a whole month of ice cream coverage including tons of new recipes and reviews of scoops from around the country and beyond.
