The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, And More Paperback – Illustrated, 23 Nov. 2000

ave gone through the titles but haven’t had a good read as this is a Christmas gift

I bought this book for my Grandad who will be getting an ice cream machine for Christmas and it is really nice, the only draw back for me is it isnt illustrated with pictures/phots. Although the content and receipies are pretty good, especially the unusual ones in there like sweet pototo ice cream!Also if you are buying this bear in mind it is an American book so they do use different measurements (cups) something id wish Id realised as now Ive to buy the correct measuring 'bits' to go with it!All this aside though it is a great book for the receipes and the ease in which it is written, real no nonsense way!

good recipes for all sorts of ice cream apart from measurement all American cup sizes which are different from British cups (American smaller)

A really good book. The recipes are easy and delicious and the variety is astonishing and very imaginative. I have had the book only a short while but I've made several types already. Being an American book I've noticed that there is a leaning toward too much sugar; for my taste, anyway. I always use a little less with no adverse effects thus far. The yield is generous for those made as of now so I always work quickly when freezing as I have the churn attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer and I find that it begins to defrost quite quickly but, having said that, it isn't a problem as long as one is aware of the need to be organised. I highly recommend this book. Scrumptious ice cream, straighforward and fun. Delivers bigly!

The media could not be loaded. If you enjoy making ice cream then this book will provide you with a wealth of recipes and ideas. The book says there are 500 recipes for ice cream, drinks, granita etc. However each recipe is accompanied by a set of suggestions for alternative adaptations so in reality there are probably around 1,500 ice cream variations here.Pros:* A huge range of ice cream recipes* Each recipe offers suggestions for alternatives* Recipes are easy to follow* There are recipes for ice creams you never knew existed e.g. Lavender Ice Cream* Some really inspirational recipes* All of the recipes I have tried have worked well - try the chocolate truffle ice cream - it is to die for!Cons:* Not a single photograph in the book, just hand drawn images (and not many of those)* Measurements are in cups - you will need to buy /own a set of measuring cups* American names for ingredients used e.g. cornstarch, heavy milk, half and half etc (you can look these up on the internet)* Some recipes are very sweet but they can be easily adapted once you have tried them* The paper that the book is printed on doesn't feel of a very high quality

This book is magical! I tried several recipes and all were so tasty and different. The pine nut ice cream is wonderful. I tried the cannoli recipe and it got excellent reviews. All the recipes you need to set up an "ice cream feast". The granita recipes are a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but you can always add less sugar.Really worth having, my family keeps asking for new experiments.I am really so happy I bought this book! There are no pictures, but they are not so important for ice cream, I think.Anyways, buy this book, if you like ice cream, you won't regret it.

I have purchased this book and looking though it I am pleased, but some of the ice creams have an ingredient called half and half, after reading the first pages about the general stuff I still cant find out what this is !

Love this book. Y u m m y recipes! Highly recommended
