This review is from: The old fashioned homemade ice cream cookbook, (Hardcover)

This book covers, in a very readable and straightforward way, how to make great ice cream. I have been using this book for many years, it covers a short history of ice cream and contains many useful recipes for making many different kinds, from old standards to more exotic mixtures, dozens of recipes are included here. Also, the tips for using your ice cream freezer are excellent. My favorite recipe is the Philadelphia vanilla ice cream using lots of heavy whipping cream, mabe this will shorten my life but at least I will die happy.

This review is from: The old fashioned homemade ice cream cookbook, (Hardcover)

I purchased a Cuinart Ice Cream maker Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic 1-1/2-Quart Ice-Cream Maker, White this summer and started to research the highest rated ice cream books - this one and THE PERFECT SCOOP [[ASIN:158008219X The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments]were very highly rated and very affordable. The book was published "pre-electric ice cream maker" so there are references to cranking and salt, but the recipes I have tried are quite good, especially the peanut butter.

This review is from: The Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream Cookbook (Paperback)

I've owned and loved this ice cream book since it first came out, in 1974. That's 36 years of enjoyment! I realize that the Ben & Jerry's book receives all the press; I guess if you have a famous brand name to your ice cream, everyone wants to "copy-cat" those recipes and not really make their own. I do own that book but prefer this one.

Everything is written simply and easy to understand. When the authors say "Don't do this!" or "Make sure that you DO do this!", they know what they are saying! According to the introduction, the husband and wife who wrote this created their own recipes, finding the ones at the time (1974) to be lacking. They take classic recipes and provide many variations: vanilla has 8 different variations, alone. Their peach ice cream and coconut ice creams are our family favourites. Then, there are recipes for sauces, ice cream desserts and ice cream confections, along with sorbets, ices and sherberts. I've read this book cover to cover and learned so much.

Note: back in the days this was written, there wasn't the "hand-wringing" concern over using raw eggs. I either get mine fresh from the farm (local man raises chickens) or I buy Davidson's Pasteurized eggs at my market. Problem solved!
