Book Description
Ice Cream! The Whole Scoop, is an in-depth definitive book about the great American passion. Designed to take the mystery out of making ice cream but not the magic, this delightful book is not just a cookbook but a "how-to" guide for ice cream makers. Ice cream lovers will find hundreds of recipes from creamy-rich gourmet ice cream to healthful yogurt to crisp tart sorbets. Part One, "Freeze It," offers recipes for every sort of frozen dessert, including not just dairy ice creams, sherbets and frozen yogurts, but also non-dairy delights such as French sorbets, Italian sorbetti, and rice-based and soy-based ice creams. Part Two, "Perfect It," offers an in-depth explanation of the variables influencing ice cream quality including the ingredients used, the way they're mixed, and how they're frozen and stored. Detailed instructions are offered on how to develop, evaluate, and perfect new flavors. Part Three, "Embellish It," offers tantalizing suggestions for al! l occasions including combining eye-appealing colors with taste-tingling flavors to create swirled marbles, layered rainbows or molded bombes. Ice Cream concludes with three indispensable appendices: an alphabetical reference of two hundred formulas for creating new flavors, a glossary of ice cream lovers' jargon; and sources for specialized equipment and hard-to-find supplies. Ice Cream! is truly The Whole Scoop.

This is a great book with everything you will want to know about frozen delights, whether made with an ice cream maker or not. Instructions enable you to be creative as well. The Apricot Ice recipie is my family's favorite from my ice cream maker and I've tried recipies from other books. This book is well worth the money!

This is the first book I read about ice cream. Almost any imaginable topic is discussed in it: how to freeze, the sorts of ice, sorbet, punch, ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice cream for restrictive diets, soy ice cream, flavors, sweetening, smooth texture, trouble shooting etc etc...). I have not yet tried the recipes but I'll give it a try. This is a most complete book that I recommend to all, whatever sort of ice cream you like.
THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON ICE CREAM August 23, 2000

This book is FABULOUS if you want to learn about Ice Cream as well as make it. The author provides the background information that many a cookbook leave out so that you can understand and even troubleshoot your creations. She explains what stabilizers, emulsifiers and other ingredients do for ice cream and even includes a section the various machines available.She includes ice cream recipies for those with dietary restrictions, soy milk, rice milk, yogurt, ices etc. as well as sherberts, sorbets, gelatos etc. There is an exhaustive "chart" which will cover just about any ingredient you can think of adding to your ice cream which gives you quantities for you to use. The author tested recipes are simple and easy to follow and those that I have tried are great. I own many ice cream books, but if I were to recommend one book on ice cream, this would be it. This is the true bible of Ice Cream books, there is no other so complete.

Or so my wife tells me... she photocopied half the frozen yogurt section from the library before deciding we should buy the book. So far as I can remember, they were all good.
