Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK WITH MANY EASY AND GOOD RECIPES Review: This is an excellent book with many simple to follow recipes. Wonderful for cooks without much time. All the basics and lots of variations too.There isn't much on technique/troubleshooting or background, go to Ice Cream! The Whole Scoop by Gail Damerow for that, but it does contain a LARGE assortment of "everyday" recipes that you'll use again and again. Their fresh Cantaloupe Ice Cream, Mocha and Health Bar Crunch are just a few of our favorites. Definitely one of the best practical cookbooks on ice cream.
Rating: Summary: Good cook book Review: I bought this book after I bought my Krupps La Glaciere Ice Cream maker. So far I've made the Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream and the Vanilla Oreo Ice Cream. Both are good. If you like Ben and Jerry's ice cream, I would reccommend this book.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! Review: I made the Orio Mint ice cream. My son starting eating it before I told him it was homemade. When I told him, he didn't believe me. He then looked through the freezer looking for the packaged container. He said "Wow, this is great!" He now brags to his girlfriend that my ice cream tastes BETTER than homemade ice cream! I have tried quite a few, and have great results. If you have an ice cream freezer, this is a book not to be missed!
Rating: Summary: Common sense ice cream making and more! Review: This is a fantastic book on making ice cream. The recipes are great, and they even tell you a bit about the science in making ice cream. They even give you ideas on how to create your own special flavor. Also included are good recipes for other desserts. If you want to make ice cream go with the folks that really know how to make ice cream.
Rating: Summary: A fun book to have around Review: I make Ice Cream from this book exclusively. I can eat a whole pint of Ben an Jerry's at a sitting, and was suprised to find that my homemade ice creams came out about the same as thiers. You don't get the new flavors like "Chubby Hubby" but that's only because it's an old book. I'm sure if you wrote to them, they'd tell you the recipe. That's just the type of Guys they are. In any case, I quite enjoy coming up with my own flavors and substitutions, but since I'm using their cookbook as a guide, my flavors always come out like Ben and Jerry came to my house and made the flavor just for me. If I wonder what Chai-Coconut-Pistachio Ice Cream tastes like, I can whip up a quart using their coconut Ice Cream recipe as a starting point, for about the same price as buying it, and I have flavors that you can't get in the store. It's a wonder that they sell any Ice Cream at all with this book on the market. It just proves that when you treat your customers right, and don't keep any secrets from them, they'll keep buying your product.
Rating: Summary: I've died and gone to heaven! Review: This book is the best! It really is hard to believe that such simple recipes can result in such terrific tasting ice cream, but they do! This is the only ice cream cookbook I'll ever need! Thank you, Ben and Jerry!
Rating: Summary: Great Ice Cream and Book Review: Though the recipes look simple and easy, the results are amazing. After make batches of the Chocolate Chip cookie dough and Chocolate Fugde Brownie (My favorite), I am convinced this is one of the best ice cream books out. The recipes are couple with hilarious stories from their aventures in the ice cream business. This book is fun for all ages. Recipes for ice cream bases are given so you can experiment with your own flavors and additives. Almost all the recipes in this book require no cooking at all. So within 1 1/2 hours you could be eating a batch of your favorite flavor.
Rating: Summary: A GREAT GIFT BOOK Review: I am always looking for a gift book, reasonably priced, and popular with the public ... this work fits the bill! The recipes are great for the home or cottage and the cartoon characters appeal to the younger set. I like to introduce people to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream at Christmas by giving a book and a pint of New York Super Fudge Chunk or Cherry Garcia. NO, I don't work for Ben & Jerry's ... I just like their business philosophy and this great little book!
Rating: Summary: Recipes are too brief Review: The recipes are just too brief and simple. Those unique Ben & Jerry's ice cream sold on the market can't be made by just these simple steps and ingredients isn't it?
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book for Ice Cream Lovers! Review: I bought this as a gift for my parents and have had a hard time finding it anywhere except online. This is the best book of recipes I've seen yet and is highly recommended. Great basic flavors like chocolate and vanilla, plus their special flavors like NY Super Fudge Chunk (my personal favorite). I agree with the other readers who say they are surprised they would share their recipes in their book - but it's true, all the great flavors are in here. Definitely worth the money. I'm buying an extra copy for myself.
