This review is from: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Cookbook: Enjoy Homemade Ice Creams, Frozen Yogurts, Sorbets, Sherbets, and More (Paperback)

This cookbook has a lot of options. Especially if you're looking for recipes incorporating practically any kind of fruit, there are so many recipes to choose from. There's also a whole chapter on vanilla. I found the best recipes for strawberry ice cream and orange sherbet in this cookbook, after being unsuccessful elsewhere. There are also many healthy options, with many recipes for frozen yogurt and sorbets. If you're looking to expand your repertoire beyond the recipes that came with your ice cream maker, this is a good choice.

This book has many good recipes but the proportions are off sometimes. What should be 2 quarts sometimes ends up becoming 1.

I purchased this book a few weeks ago and really enjoy it! The ice cream recipe especially as I've made it several times. It has such a variety of things one can make. I highly recommend it!
