Summary: This is the Ultimate book for ice creams lovers!
Review: I read the reviews of this book, then rushed out to my public library to check it out. WOW! The recipes and flavors offered are totally now. It literally has something for everyone and then some. I've just purchased an electric ice cream maker and it will be fun to try out all the cool flavors in this book. I'm buying this book to add to my collection! EXCELLENT!!*****

Summary: Great gift - for a friend or yourself!
Review: I saw this book on a friend's wishlist and got it for them for Christmas. I flipped through it when I got it and decided I had to get one for myself! Has tons of recipes in it, even some really off-the-wall types I probably will never try. The "normal" flavors are all excellent and I plan on trying a few of the slightly different ones. ;) If someone you know is getting an ice cream maker, this makes a great gift (especially if you put this with the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream cookbook).

Summary: still the best ice cream book ev er
Review: i've had this book for three years and it's the only ice cream book i ever use. i have others including ben and jerry's, but so many of ben and jerry's recipes use raw eggs which is not safe. and they don't give alternative ways to cook them. mr weinstein on the other hand, cooks all of the eggs that go into his custard based ice creams and that's important. but weinstein also has recipes for ice cream without eggs which are just as rich and delicious. i've bought this book for everyone i know with an ice cream maker and i've bought it along with an ice cream maker as a gift for friends that don't have either one. i guess i'm not alone - just read the rest of the reviews here, when i say the i think this is the best and only ice cream book for sale worth having.

Summary: Best Ice Cream Ever!
Review: Ice cream doesn't get any better than this. Everything I have tried in the book has turned out great. Try the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip recipe; it almosts tastes like Chocolate Chip Cookie dough to me! The nicest thing about this book is that you cook most of the ingredients on the stove so you don't need to fear eating raw eggs.

Summary: A Real Crowd Pleaser
Review: It is a tradition at our school to begin each year with a pot luck luncheon. I have an electric ice cream maker with a spare bowl. I was able to borrow an additional bowl and made 3 recipes from the book: Butter Pecan, Oreo Cheesecake, and Chocolate Malted Milk Ball. Suffice it to say, my colleagues wanted to know where I got the recipe(s) and upon learning, several purchased this book. The format is simple and for each recipe, some suggested variations are provided. There are some recipes (Earl Grey Ice Cream) that I wouldn't touch, but Bruce Weinstein has written what I consider to be the definitive guide thus far to creating exquisite ice cream desserts. You will come back to this reference time after time and you won't be disappointed!

Summary: The Ultimate Additive Ice Cream Book
Review: It's a good thing I did not pay for this book or I would have returned it. Ice Cream should be made using only fresh ingredients and only those that are necessary to make good ice cream. The addition of flour to the recipe seems unnecessary to me. I have made several batches of ice cream without adding flour and they are very good, especially the mint chocolate chip.This book is very disappointing! If I wanted unnecessary ingredients in my ice cream, I would continue to purchase my ice cream from the store.

Summary: Everything You Need To Make Great Ice Cream In One Book
Review: Let's just start by saying that the ice cream recipes in this book are fantastic. The basic flavors all there and the variations that follow each one range from the simple (dried cranberries in the vanilla) to the sublime (dates and crumbled biscotti added to fig ice cream). Then there are the sorbets - fantastic and varied. Some of these recipes are clearly sherbets as the author has added egg whites (meringues) to some of the recipes (try the lemon for instance) and milk to others (go for the banana). But he calls them all sorbets. Who cares when they all taste so great. And the toppings are wonderful, I make the marshmallow topping all the time. If you want to make every kind of ice cream and sorbet (and sherbet) you can imagine, I highly suggest you buy this book.

Summary: Inspired recipes...great book
Review: Mr. Weinstein has captured the very essence of ice cream. This book has everything. Ice cream cones? In there. Every kind of ice cream flavor you can imagine? Yep! And if you're unsure about some of the more obscure recipes (which you shouldn't be), there's 3 different recipes for vanilla! You simply can't go wrong.

Summary: tasty, delightful--and complete
Review: OK, over 500 ice creams, sorbets, granitas, shakes, and the rest. I think I'll be busy for a long time. And the flavors range from the common to the extreme. I think it's a must-have book: a wonderful house gift, a nice addition to a cooking library. The only drawback: the mandatory gym membership once you've eaten your way through it. What a wonderful find. A treat, real and creamy.
