Summary: Only great recipes so far
Review: I found this book at a used bookstore one day, and decided to get it. I've tried several of the ice cream and sherbet recipes so far, and all have turned out very well. The ice cream is very smooth and doesn't get too hard in the freezer (my previous batches of ice cream had to be thawed in the refrigerator before they could be served).The book has recipes some recipes for different sizes of ice cream makers. I have a 1.5 qt Cuisinart, and I have to split some recipes in half (luckily I have a second bowl, so I can make two batches back-to-back). It also has recipes for things like ice cream cake, frozen drinks, sorbets, etc. The book has recipes for many similar flavor groups. For example, there are about a dozen chocolate recipes, so you can pick one based on ingredients, cook/no-cook, batch size, etc. This book is over 20 years old, but ice cream really hasn't changed much (though ice cream makers have come a long way). The pictures in the book cleary identify its age. But it has good recipes, and it's pretty cheap. I highly recommend the recipes in this book over the ones I've tried in The Ultimare Ice Cream Book based on variety, taste, and texture.
