Ice Cream and Frozen Deserts : A Commercial Guide to Production and Marketing

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book very informative
Review: As a professional in the industry for 11 years, this by far is the most intensive book I have had the pleasure to read. Not only to those who produce ice cream, but anyone interested in the industry as a profession will find this very informative and enlightening. This was obviously written by someone who has exstensive industry knowledge and truly wants others not to make the costly mistakes one often makes in a new endever. If I had read this 11 years ago I would have saved thousands of dollars and a whole lot of misdirected time.

Summary: Excellent description of all phases
Review: This book was *exactly* what I was looking for to help me get started in this business. A very broad overview of many different topics related to the ice cream business.

As my plans are to possibly open a parlor, some of the aspects of the commercial operations were not useful to me, but it *was* at least interesting to see how the big boys do it.

The one area that I was a little disappointed in was the business aspects of it. There were some general discussions of things to accomplish, without any real instruction in how to go about actually *accomplishing* them.

Overall, well worth the (rather steep, I admit...) price.
