In Valli's more than 20 years as a gelato master, he has acquiesced to some rather strange requests, including creating a tasty salmon gelato, a pesto gelato for an Indian chef and three different kinds of beer gelato for a German gelateria. An aspiring Dutch gelato maker in a recent class at Gelato U. suggested that she might like to learn how to make hash-flavored...
