Awesome Ice Cream Book

Wow, this book is totally beautiful. There is a wide range of recipes from simple and basic to complex and decandent. There's basic ice creams, such as coffee and choclate ripple; sorbets and granitas; and various other cold desserts such as strawberry semi-freddo (partially frozen dessert). There is also a good section on garnishing and in one recipe you make a frozen ice bowl with roses in it (look at the cover). All of the instructions are very simple, they include pictures and they are done step-by-step. You can get this book just for the scrumptious looking pictures or if you are looking for a book that will help you impress guests on a warm day,this is it!

Lots of wonderful things to do with your ice cream machine

I found this book while browsing the ice cream cookbooks looking for a coconut ice cream recipe and was really impressed with their recipe (nice and tangy with lime juice). This book has lots of interesting recipes for ice creams and iced desserts which go beyond the average ice cream you find in the dairy section such as sorbets, pies, parfaits, tortes, brulees. I like the fact that they have instructions for making Kulfee (Indian Ice Cream) in an ice cream machine (the recipes are geared for the average ice cream machine). The instructions are accompanied with pictures of how to do it for those of us who are cooking "impaired." There are lots of other bits of ice cream history and other facts which will help you make some very wonderful ice desserts. This book is defintely worth the money!
