The best Gelato book ever!!!,
By
This review is from: The Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto: Bold, Fresh Flavors to Make at Home (Hardcover)
I have tried a few ice cream recipe books with my kitchen aid ice cream maker, but they usually were slightly granular in texture and also very fattening. With this book, the fat content is lower (for most the ratio is 1 cup heavy cream and 2 cups whole milk) but the taste is so much better! The flavors are wonderful and they come out incredibly creamy every time. I haven't had any granular one yet. The Dolce de Leche is a family favorite as is the chocolate. If you don't believe me, try the recipe in the write-up. That's what sold me on this book and I haven't look back yet. I am actually contemplating selling the other 2 books.

Very good!,
This review is from: The Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto: Bold, Fresh Flavors to Make at Home (Hardcover)
I had just purchased the Kitchen Aid ice cream maker when I bought this book, so I literally had no idea how to make ice cream. This book has been a god-send, with easy step by step instructions and recipes/flavours that are definitely delicious and easy find and make. My only complaint is that after you make the ice cream and put it in the freezer, it goes rock solid. My recommendation is to eat the gelato as soon as it is ready.

This review is from: The Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto: Bold, Fresh Flavors to Make at Home (Hardcover)
My roommates and I discovered Ciao Bella ice cream while shopping at our neighborhood Whole Foods. Though we loved the flavors offered at our Whole Foods, especially the Hazelnut (yum!), we wanted to try some of the other flavors, because the ones we had were so delicious! We found ourselves surfing Ciao Bella's web page and then searching for specific flavors at distance grocery stores.Then ... everything changed! We discovered this cookbook. If you follow their directions and use fresh ingredients that are ripe/fresh, yours really will turn out just as good as the store bought Ciao Bella gelato. Promise. Why pay $5.00+ for a pint if you can make your own?! The day the book came I read it cover to cover. There are so many flavors to choose from, not to mention it's inspiring. Fig and port? Yum! Though we certainly haven't made all the recipes, once you master the basic recipe there is very little to change when it comes to adding flavors. I really liked that in the beginning of the book they discussed technique, stressing the importance of temperature, etc. They even explained the difference between different vanillas, which I certainly did not know. As they emphasized, you should feel inspired to try your own variations. After reading different recipes I began to gain a good perspective of when to add more sugar and when not to, etc. The recipes offer inventive combinations that sound delightful. It certainly gets you thinking about what other fruits you can combine to make delicious masterpieces. I certainly felt inspired and have made my own fruit sorbets based loosely on some of the recipes. Everything we've whipped together has turned out fabulous. I can't wait to try the champagne sorbets at New Years! Definitely worth the price. Did I mention we use this as a coffee table book now? Everyone loves it! 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Yummy and Simple!,

This review is from: The Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto: Bold, Fresh Flavors to Make at Home (Hardcover)
I would highly recommend this book. The recipes couldn't be simpler and yet many of them are adventurous and delightfully different. Keep in mind that an ice cream maker is required for all the recipes. We have a very simple, inexpensive model which works just fine. This Fourth of July we chose three sorbettos for a Red, White and Blue theme: Strawberry, Blueberry and Coconut and they were all a huge success with our family! All three were easy to make and came out yummy and refreshing - not too sweet and a perfect finale for our BBQ menu. We can't wait to try everything - each recipe looks great and the pictures are all good enough to eat, too! Get this book - it's definitely worth it!

I have made a dozen or so of the gelato recipes in this book. All of them have been easy to make and turned out perfectly.
