5.0 out of 5 stars Best So Far..., December 19, 2003

By 

Dorian M. (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Revised (Paperback)

I made a special trip to a local bookstore to check this one out in person. Of all the books that are available, this one was my favorite because of two things: the recipes and nutritional information. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being impossible/ridiculous), the ease of recipes probably ranged between 7-9, which means that they are mostly do-able and not too difficult. What won me over was the fact that the revised version of this book (published either in 2003 or 2004, even though it's out on the shelves already) has the added bonus of including nutritional count of EACH recipe, so you'll know the amount of fat/calories/carbohyrdates/sugar, etc. per serving of ice cream by the recipe (unless you substitute ingredients, then you're on your own). This was such an unexpected treat! Also, I noticed that some of the recipes that included eggs had suggested heating the egg briefly (sorry, I don't recall the exact details), but this beats worrying about raw eggs that could lead to Salmonella. Finally, besides the many great recipes, the book includes some great, glossy, yummy-looking pictures (including the cover picture that's also found inside with the recipe), PLUS the author keeps in mind that some people will actually use this book for an ice-cream making machine...so she gives directions accordingly! I'm giving this to a friend for a Christmas present, along with the Cuisinart 1.5 quart Ice Cream Maker, and I wanted to make sure the recipe book would meet three needs: include easy recipes that can be used in an ice cream maker (yep), count nutritional information (yep), and be simple (yes, mostly--have to hunt for some of the ingredients, possibly). Plus, we're both health-conscious and on a low-car eating plan, so we'll substitute Splenda (sub. sugar) in the mixes, which seems easy. I was torn between buying this book, "Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream Book" (also good, but diffuicult on a low-carb diet), and "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks & More"...but the latter had no nutritional information and only seemed to add one or two things to set recipes and call them "new" recipes, which felt like a rip-off--considering the promised "500 recipes" title. SO, I do recommend this book, as I believe it meets many needs beyond satisfying the taste buds. I can't wait until we try out all the recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars A mighty tasty book!, June 7, 2000

By 

Scott D. Kimball - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Revised (Paperback)

A very helpful and informative book, especially for newcomers to ice cream making. Lots of photos. Covers various techniques for freezing ice cream, explains the 'how & why' of various ingredients, and includes a ton of recipes from basics like strawberry and vanilla to exotics such as Italian green pepper frappe. My familiy has yet to try one of their recipes that we did not like.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for ice cream lovers and frozen yogurt fans!, September 5, 2000

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Revised (Paperback)

In Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt, Mable and Gar Hoffman draw upon their years of experience to craft a superb compendium of more than homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt recipes. These recipes range from rich ice creams, frozen yogurts, and sherbets, to sorbets, sauces, and frozen desserts that can be made at home with any ice-cream maker, or just by using the kitchen freezer. From Heavenly Chocolate Sherbet, Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream, and Apricot-Honey Frozen Yogurt, to Mango Sorbet, Green Chowder Frappe, and Pineapple Pops, Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt will quickly prove to be a family favorite addition to any kitchen cookbook collection!
