I can't say enough about this "little jewel of a book." I saw it over a friend's house and had to have it. I have made several of the recipes and my family and friends can't stop talking about the desserts. The cinnammon ice cream is to die for! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves good, homemade ice creams and desserts.

Haven't made anything as yet; just got the ice cream freezer attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer and plan to renew my passion for homemande ice cream. Nothing like it. Book has a complete array of frozen delights and it has become one of my favorites to puruse and hopefully make specialties from. I also recommned Ben and Jerry's ice cream book; the two are the creme de la creme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd ice cream book to own!, March 21, 2010

I can't believe that this wonderful ice cream book had THREE reviews as opposed to the Ben & Jerry's book, which came out around the same time (1987 vs. 1985)and has over 290 reviews!

So, I'm going to "make good" on this cherished recipe book and write a review, after owning it for 25 years.

First, a "warning" or "education": times change and food concerns change after 25 years!!! If you are not aware of this, then you've been living in a cave. What was common useage of raw eggs in 1985 now has Nervous Nelly's knickers all in a twist! IF using RAW EGGS has you thinking of running to the hospital in advance of using them, then CHECK YOUR LOCAL MARKET FOR PASTEURIZED EGGS, SUCH AS DAVIDSON'S. If this is too much bother for you, then don't buy THIS book or any other older book that requires raw eggs. Grow and adapt, I say.

Now, on to the review: assuming that you've bought pasteurized eggs or raise your own chickens, the recipe selection in this book is sublime! I own both this and the Ben & Jerry's book; this one has more exotic and interesting recipes than B & J's. Their Buttermilk Peach is an all time favourite; the cinnamon over piping hot apple pie is "To Die For", and the Red Plum and Turkish Delights recipes are insanely good. They also have loads of recipes for sundaes but we prefer to enjoy our ice cream "as is", though the photos and sundae recipes are sure to inspire other folks.

I've reduced my ice cream cookbook selection from 8 down to 2 books, the B & J and this one; that should say enough about how much I enjoy this book and it's recipes.
