This review is from: Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream: With 58 Original Recipes (Paperback)

This isn't a fancy book with color photos, in fact the only color photo is on the cover, but it does contain some good old fashioned recipes. There are many variations presented for chocolate and vanilla ice creams, some not requiring any cooking. There are exotic treats such as caramel, banana chocolate, maple walnut and even butterscotch royal ice cream. There's even ice cream recipes that are based on instant pudding and one on jello!

The author covers a brief history of ice cream and covers each of the main ingredients as well as why they're needed.

Negatives:

All of the recipes make about a gallon so you'll have to size them down if your machine can't handle a full gallon. Luckily Ice Cream recipes can be successfully sized down.

Many of the recipies do require cooking of some sort.

Also some recipes use "rennet tablets" something that I'm not familiar with.

----------- Overall this is a good basic book with some unique ice creams at a fantastic price.

I bought this book to make ice cream with a Kitchenaid freezer bowl attachment. My husband has liked every recipe that I have tried from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ice cream like my mom used to make, December 16, 2009

I looked for quite some time for a book that had a home made ice cream recipe that could compare to my Mom's. I believe I found it in this book. I had forgotten the exact method she used and she passed on. Her's was not a written recipe, it was one in her head. My main job was to turn the crank on the old hand cranked ice cream maker.

There is one recipe in here that is like the method she used and it tastes close. I grew up on a farm and we always had fresh cream and fresh milk to use. My mouth still waters when I think of eating Mom's home canned peaches with fresh cream on them or better still home made ice cream.

I highly recommend this book
