Simply amazing!

Let me start off by saying that I am a fervent cookbook collector AND a very active home cook/ baker. I have made many of the recipes in this book and they've all gotten raves. I was even able to substitute a bit in such ways as using soy cream instead of dairy cream, and the recipes still work!
The book doesn't have pictures, which I know annoys some, but I actually prefer it that way because that way there's more room for recipes. I also enjoy the "theme and variations" format because I'm always on the lookout for nifty ways to change up a recipe. I know some people are complaining about the variations because they're often simple, but personally I think it's nice to be reminded of all the small, subtle ways we can change recipes and create amazing flavor combinations.

Ice creams, gelatos, sorbets, oh my!

I really like this cookbook and I've had enormous success with every single recipe. The latest was Raspberry Ice Cream, which was an interesting variant of technique (the egg yolks actually cook in the processor by drizzling boiling hot simple syrup over them... THEN comes the cream, etc...) -- delicious. As to reviews which bemoan the book's explanations of techniques, well, I didn't have that problem. Then again, I'm probably a fairly savvy cook, and it could be a challenge for a beginner. But in all, I give the book high marks -- every recipe in my Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker has worked beautifully.

Not all that

Not a great deal of variety in this book. No pictures to entice you to try a specific recipe. Seems to be just the basic vanilla and each addition (i.e., strawberries, peaches, etc.) is listed as another recipe. Perhaps I was expecting too much.

good versatile book

There are a lot of different recipes in this book, some that use egg, some that don't, some fantastic milk-free (chocolate sorbet), and tons of different flavors.

This is a great book to start with, though I recommend also scouring the internet for additional recipes if there's something specific you want to try
