- Good, but not great on organization.
This is a splendid book in every way except its organization. The whole subject of making ice cream, sorbet and similar desserts is covered in a thorough manner. However if you have a few ingredients at hand and want to 'knock up' a quick pudding, this is perhaps not the book for you. Many recipes require quite specialized ingredients and equipment. The index is not very helpful and there is no indication of the relative difficulty of the recipes.

- This *is* the definitive ice cream book!
I don't usually trust anything that calls itself indispensible or definitive, but this book really is, if you want to make a range of ice creams, sorbets, spooms, and the rest. Not only does it have the widest and most imaginative range of recipes I've seen in an ice cream book, but it's also a wealth of ice cream history and lore, and contains lots of amusing illustrations of historical tools, ice cream cartoons, and wonderful 19th century ice cream feasts.

- Interesting read and fantastic recipes
I've actually read this book from cover to cover - and am still yet to make any ice cream! The first section of the book is very interesting, covering the history of ice cream (facts I never knew!). After that follows a few pages on equipment and ingredients, then come the recipes, page after page, with no glossy photo's, just recipes. Everything from good old Vanilla to Rose Petal ice cream, with granita's, frozen yoghurt and sorbets. Not sure if i'm going to try Frozen Stilton Cheese Cream, but if I ever lose weight, I'm going to treat myself to Strawberry and Mascarpone Ice Cream (there's even instructions on how to make home made mascarpone).

There's also sections on biscuits and sauces for ice creams.

- BRILLIANT
I wont re-write what has been written already.....but....this is an excellent book, I have made over 20 ices, all yummy! I have cooked for years, but for some reason people are the most impressed by home made icecream, and it is just soooo easy! Make the English Toffee one! :)
