The Ultimate Reference Guide for Making Ice Cream

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

I make a lot of ice cream at home now and have bought 3 books on Amazon to help me do that. In my view, "The Whole Scoop" is by far the best.

This is not just a recipe book, it is a true reference guide to making ice cream. Most guides have a few token pages, but this one really explains how ice cream making works. This almost 400 page guide provides an incredible amount of reference information things like how to achieve smooth texture, emulsifiers, freezing, extending to how to make parfaits and bombes as well as what to look for in equipment including even scoops. It even has a trouble-shooting section that helps you identify the cause and fixes for ice cream that hasn't turned out exactly how you might want.

It also has more recipes than any other book, from sorbets and sherbets through to frozen yoghurts and dairy alternatives. It has a quirky recipe structure with the ingredients list and the recipe instructions integrated together. Takes a little getting used to but I think it works.

The Williams-Sonoma book looks great - coffee table quality - with some really classy recipes. The Ben & Jerry's recipe book is - well - B&J. But if you want a reference guide to build your skills and understanding of how to make really great ice cream then this is the guide for you.

THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON ICE CREAM

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2000

Verified Purchase

This book is FABULOUS if you want to learn about Ice Cream as well as make it. The author provides the background information that many a cookbook leave out so that you can understand and even troubleshoot your creations. She explains what stabilizers, emulsifiers and other ingredients do for ice cream and even includes a section the various machines available.
She includes ice cream recipies for those with dietary restrictions, soy milk, rice milk, yogurt, ices etc. as well as sherberts, sorbets, gelatos etc. There is an exhaustive "chart" which will cover just about any ingredient you can think of adding to your ice cream which gives you quantities for you to use. The author tested recipes are simple and easy to follow and those that I have tried are great.
I own many ice cream books, but if I were to recommend one book on ice cream, this would be it. This is the true bible of Ice Cream books, there is no other so complete.

It takes the Scoop

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2009

Verified Purchase

I would be negligent if I gave this book anything but 5 stars. It's a great primer on ice cream and a great reference to have on hand so it's suitable for the beginner as well as the advanced person. It's pretty well laid out and covers most aspects of production while still being easy to read and not just a boring theory trip. The index (yes that list at the back) does a pretty good job of covering things like flavors and ingredients and appears pretty complete. This is sits next to the ice cream maker.

The Ice Cream Encyclopedia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is a very comprehensive "How To" on all things ice cream. The troubleshooting guides and tips proved to be very valuable in making my ice cream that much better. The book is a wonderful resource that I turn to time and time again. It also is a wonderful read. The history of ice cream, and other topics are fascinating. This is an excellent resource for both professional and amateur alike.

Must have for Ice Cream Lovers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is the third copy of this book that I have purchased. The first copy, I used up. The second copy, I gave away. I sure missed it, so I searched it out and purchased another copy. It goes through the basics and gives a lot of information. There are a lot of different recipes, including non-dairy ones, so you're bound to find ones that you can use.

this book is very informative and detailed. It's a wonderful book for a serious ice cream enthusiast but I was looking for something much more simple for home use.
