Jeni, whose family of shops includes 11 in Ohio, one in Nashville, Tenn., one in Chicago, Il. and one in Atlanta, Ga., has honed her ice cream-making skills for nearly two decades. In 2012, the New York Times best-seller “Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home,” earned Jeni a James Beard Award. In its eighth printing, the book remains the go-to manual for making ice creams with a standard home machine. “No one makes ice cream like Jeni Britton Bauer,” proclaimed Food & Wine, while The Washington Post dubbed Jeni “an ice cream wizard.” Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams—which mail orders pints of ultra-creamy, deeply flavorful, one-of-a-kind grass-grazed ice creams to an ever-increasing number of households coast to coast—is also served in select grocery stores throughout America.
