Summary: Great "ice-cream" recipes for vegans
Review: I am a vegan and am also allergic to dairy. All of my life I have wished for a great "ice cream". The recipes in this book are amazing. They are creamy and rich tasting and there are also options for raw fooders. In addition to ice creams, there are recipes for sauces. One recommendation is to make sure you blend the mixture very well before putting it in your ice cream maker to prevent it from being grainy. This book has so many gourmet and creative ice cream flavors and tips for creating your own ice cream flavors. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: delicious vegan ice cream for all diets...
Review: ok this is yummy. i dislike eating dairy and can't find recipes not using tofu (i have a food sensitivity). this tastes fantastic. i made the vanilla (2 c. org. cashews pureed till smooth, 2 c. pure water, 1 c. real maple syrup, vanilla). put it in my new cuisenart (reviewed on amazon) ice cream maker and it was ready in 10 min. the only problem i see is that nuts are high in fat (14g. of fat in 1/4c. of cashews) and i can't seem to limit myself. this will have to be an occasional treat. the book has other recipes using hazelnut, almond, or coconut milks. sorbet recipes also.

Summary: A suggestion
Review: To make the nut ice cream even healthier use raw organic nuts. Yes they are high in fat but when they are used raw, it is good fat. Roasting the nuts causes the oils to become rancid and acidic.
