4.0 out of 5 stars Great start to making a lot of different ice creams, March 13, 2010

This review is from: 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets & Gelatos: The Only Ice Cream Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Cooking (Sellers)) (Hardcover)

The 500 Ice Creams, Gelatos, and sorbets provides 125 recipes for a variety of frozen treats from everyday to special occasions. Each of the 125 recipes has four minor variations that tweak the item into a different version by adding a new flavor profile. An ice cream maker is essential for this one and it provides great variations on how to make ice creams as well as different specialty concoctions that can be formed with simple and direct recipes. We have only found a few recipes to be a little vague on the directions but overall have not had too many problems with this book. Overall well recommended for those that are looking for a lot of frozen recipes that can be built on.

I got this book because I got an ice cream maker for Christmas and I love it. It contains more than just ice cream, sorbet and gelato recipes. It includes "ices" and frozen desserts, as well as low-fat and non-dairy recipes.

Just got my first ice cream maker, so I ordered this book. When I opened the package, I was kind of shocked by the size of the book! It's thick but small-about 6 by 6 inches. But I do like the wide array of recipes that it offers, including sorbets and gelatos. There are even a few cookie recipes that are great to pair with ice cream. Oh, and by the way, I have made a couple of batches of ice cream and it's awesome!!! I don't think I will ever buy store bought again!!
