Rating: Summary: The only ice cream recipe book you'll ever need! Review: Incredible recipes that are impossible to goof. Really challenges quality store bought ice cream
Rating: Summary: You'll never buy Ben and Jerry's at the store again. Review: Tired of making the same old stuff out of your ice cream maker's recipe book? The machine makers should package Ben and Jerry's book with their product. The book is excellent - humorous and filled with great, easy to make recipes, right from their own kitchen. Mint cookies 'n' creme - mmmmmmmmmmmm!
Rating: Summary: Good Tasting Recipes with Fresh Ingredients Fun to Make Review: Who doesn't like Ben and Jerry's premium commercial Ice-cream? The recipes in this book are for their familiar flavors and more. All ingredients are fresh and pure. There is plenty of unusual detail in the book. For example, who else bothers to mention that it takes some fresh lemon juice to restore a tanginess to the all too sweet flavor of over-ripened bananas in banana ice-cream? Unfortunately, Ben and Jerry are shy about providing techniques for refining the texture of the homemade version. But then why should they know them? They make ice-cream with commercial coolers. For refined techniques specific to homemade ice-cream, you will need to look elsewhere, like Liddle and Weir's "Frozen Desserts".
Rating: Summary: This is a happy, fun and tasty cookbook! Review: I really am enjoying Ben & Jerry's Icecream & Dessert book. It is easy to use, colorful, funny and has delicious recipes. The instructions are simple and the recipes are easy to increase. (We like a lot of icecream) I recommend this book and am happy that I ordered it.
Rating: Summary: Great recipes & tips on coming up with your own ideas. Review: This was my first ice cream book when I first bought my machine. They have recipes for many of their most popular flavors, plus a few you don't see too often. They also talk about the basics of ice cream & its components, so you can come up with your own creations. My only complaint is that they often call for raw eggs in recipes that aren't cooked. While eggs these days are pasteurized, I still prefer to play it safe by using either a cooked recipe or using egg substitute.
Rating: Summary: For creamy, delicious treats! Review: I'd tried making ice cream in a hand cranked ice cream maker someone gave my fiance and I a while back. I thought the machine was faulty because the ice cream wasn't very good. Then I bought Ben and Jerry's book and I realized it wasn't the machine! All I'd needed was good recipes! Our favorite is the coffee one. It's so smooth and creamy and flavorful it puts my past favorites of Hagen Daz and Starbucks in the back seat. I wondered about the raw egg safety so I'm glad to read what another reviewer said about buying pasturized eggs. I feel like now I can serve this to my niece and nephews without a worry.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic book for a fantastic price! Review: This book is worth every penny. It outlines some great ice cream bases, gives you instructions to modify recipes properly for lower fat or sugar alternatives, and has some of the most famous flavors of B&J ice cream. If you have an ice cream maker, you have to have this book. If you don't have one, this book will make you want to buy one and experiment!
Rating: Summary: Ben & Jerry's gives me the runs Review: I don't know which is worse: the diarrhea I get from eating a few spoonfuls of Ben & Jerry's saturated-fat-saturated ice cream, or the case of the runs I get every time I hear of Ben Cohen's latest political publicity stunts to force-feed his lysergic-inspired conspiracy theories down my throat. I'm not into boycotts per se, but I tell ya, I don't want my political views to come into question when I splurge for a dessert. Not with these guys. I can't help but wonder about the likely backlash Mr Cohen and his corporate cohorts foresaw when they signed a full-page New York Times ad supporting cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, or when Cohen campaigned for Anyone-But-Bush in 2004. It's kind of hard to divorce Cohen's political leanings from his product every time I look and see him posturing, bumpersticker philosophies spewing out of his Cherry Garcia-coated lips. So this here's not just a book to me, but a political statement on your shelf. And I ain't buyin' it, and if you think these dweebs are down-home, I urge you to investigate how corporate America has brainwashed you into believing so.
