Summary: You just can't put it down.
Review: I opened this book with a few free minutes while sitting on my front porch and was still looking at it long after my family was asleep. It's good clean fun. It's so much more than a tribute to ice cream, I swear I couldn't stand it any more and tip-toed downstairs to see if I had peanuts to make a "tin roof" before picking it back up again. The first thing I'm going to do is have great family fun by letting my kids make "Coffee Can Ice Cream". This book brought back such great childhood memories of cranking the old rock salt & ice machine we had all those years ago. In addition to the great text in the book, the graphics and photos put you back in another place and time. I almost feel like taking that trip down old Route 66 after looking at it.
This book will not get stuffed into my crowded bookshelf - it's going to be a great, often-reached-for, home decoration for my kitchen island from this summer forward!

Summary: I love "Everybody Loves Ice Cream"
Review: If you can only buy one book on ice cream, this is that book. The writing is excellent. Everything you need is here - history, trivia, recipes, how to make it, how to eat it, and the scoop on some of the best parlors in the nation. "ELI" is comprehensive and has just enough depth to keep you interested without bogging you down with too much detail. Let's hope this author serves us another book soon. This is a real treat.

Summary: Everybody who loves ice cream will love this book!
Review: If you love ice cream (and doesn't everybody?) this is the book for you. It's chock full of great ice cream information, from 500 of the best places in the U.S. to buy it, to how to make your own (the recipes are easy and yummy -- I've tried several), to how ice cream became such a popular food. I never owned an ice cream maker before reading this book, and now I wonder how I lived without one. (The author even offers suggestions on how to choose the right kind of ice cream maker for you.) I was amazed by how much I learned reading 'Everybody Loves Ice Cream' and how much I enjoyed learning it. Ice cream's influence on American popular culture was a revelation to me. The author has a warm, engaging writing style that makes the book a terrific read. Highly recommended.

Note to My Relatives: Expect to receive this book for all holidays in the upcoming year!

Summary: Everything you've always wanted to know about Ice Cream
Review: This is by far the most complete book about ice cream I've ever seen. It's ideal for both adults and kids with fun facts. For example, here's one of the entertaining Did You Know? entries: "In Newark, New Jersey, it is illegal to eat ice cream after 6 P.M. without a doctor's note." The ice cream making tips and recipes make it a wonderful resource for an activity the whole family can enjoy at home or you can visit top ice cream parlors in the U.S. Check out the state-by-state listings included in "Everyone Loves Ice Cream." You'll happily refer to it again and again.

Summary: What a great history book -- about ice cream
Review: This is not a topic that I would ordinarily have any interest in, but the author's writing style is as light and refreshing as a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day.I truly enjoyed the history of ice cream, beginning with the incredible lengths that people went to so they could keep their favorite dessert chilled in the old days. The research is thorough, but it is the writing that sparkles and carries a book that even includes the top ice cream parlors in the nation and favorite recipes. You will not be disappointed in this book.
