Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Weinstein is a man who takes his treats seriously. Although his instructions are sometimes too sober for the subject matter and require some commitment, the ice creams, sorbets, sweet and savory granitas, toppings and drinks are served up with flair. There are roughly 70 recipes for ice cream, each with a number of variations, and several dozen more for sorbets. On the conservative end are four recipes for plain old vanilla and three for chocolate. For the sophisticate, there are ice creams flavored with thyme, lavender and Earl Grey tea, as well as tempting varieties using less common fruits such as fig, passion fruit, mango and rhubarb. Mix-in ideas abound with such concoctions as Ginger Ice Cream with bits of candied chestnuts, Classic Mint Chip with mini chocolate chips or Cashew Ice Cream topped with Trail Mix made by adding coconut, sunflower seeds and raisins. Weinstein even offers main course ideas: How about floating a scoop of avocado in a gazpacho soup or freeing borscht into a granita? To top things off, he provides recipes for hot fudge and other toppings, as well as for black cows and sodas that will turn any kitchen into a soda fountain. July)

From Library Journal

Here are recipes for just about every ice cream imaginable, from four different versions of plain old vanilla to Avocado Ice Cream (it's really more of a chilled guacamole served as a garnish for gazpacho). Weinstein includes dozens of basic recipes for ice creams, sorbets, and granitas, with innumerable variations, along with sodas and shakes, hot fudge and other toppings, and even homemade ice cream cones. Recommended for most collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great variety of recipes Jan 20 2004
Format:Paperback
I own this book and Ben and Jerry's and I like them both. However, this one is my favorite because it is more comprehensive. It is also nicely organized by recipe. Many flavors will have recipe variations listed below the main recipe. The Ben and Jerry's book is quite old and only has a few of their popular flavors which are listed under generic names and not the names sold in stores. If I did it over again, I would save some money and only get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Addictive Ice Cream Book July 26 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I don't usually share my thoughts about cookbooks that I buy, but I have to say that this book is truly addictive. When I first started making the ice creams in the book I stuck to the recipes that didn't require eggs. The author calls them Philadelphia style, but my family calls them delicious. All the ingredients called for are fresh. Fresh berries, fresh peaches, fresh cream. I like it that the strawberry ice cream requires so few ingredients. But my husband grew up eating frozen custard so I decided to try a few of the recipes that required a little more cooking. Beat the eggs, add the sugar, beat in some flour or cornstarch to help thicken the custard, heat the milk - it scared me at first, I'm not a great cook. But I did it. The custard was rich and smooth. Then came the fresh fruit. We're totally addicted. And it's nice knowing that there's nothing artificial going into our ice cream and frozen custards. I also like the fact that all the eggs we eat are being cooked first. After reading a few of the reviews here, I decided to try an experiment. So many people said they were staying away from the odd flavors, so I made some - sweet potato and green tea. We're hooked. They're so good. Someone else said you shouldn't add flour to ice. I made the mint ice cream recipe from this book without adding the cornstarch as the recipe called for. The ice cream was icy, grainy is what my husband called it. So I made it again just as the recipe required and it was perfect and has become an instant staple in our freezer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring & bland! Aug 4 2001
Format:Paperback
Dan of West Hollywood has written a great & accurate review of this cookbook. I feel even more negatively than he about this book. I bought it because I was looking for an ice cream "Bible" cookbook. Maybe if you're a suburban soccer mom with a large team's worth of mouths to feed this would be a great book. But if you've been making ice cream for several yrs. & want to be challenged to greater heights of ice cream making; or you have a bit more sophisticated palette, I wouldn't buy this book.

Why are there no chocolate ice cream recipes asking for real chocolate (instead of cocoa)? Why do all vanilla recipes require liquid vanilla and not the far superior vanilla bean pod? Why do fruit recipes call for canned, rather than fresh fruit? Why does cherry ice cream call for cherry syrup, when a fresh cherry's natural juices make the best syrup you can buy? I could go on and on.

If you're getting started in ice cream making this book is a good start. If not, go elsewhere. BTW, I'm still looking for the ice cream bible so if anyone has recommendations...

This book contains many great recipes and ideas although the style of the book is older. There are no photos and the pages are not glossy and fun to look at.

Very few commercial ice creams can stand up to homemade. Oh, I know. I have my commercial favorites too. When you make your own, however, you're in control of everything. Read more

Great recipe's, great for someone just starting (like me) and I can also see where if you had made lots of ice cream before that this would be helpful with a few different recipes.
