Must have book for anyone with an ice cream maker!:
I recently got an ice cream maker and had to get a good book with easy recipes. This book is it! Simple and very few ingredients with easy instructions make this book a keeper.

This books needs updating:
I was really looking forward to this book based on the reputation of Ben and Jerry's Ice Creams.

I would have expected them to update the book or tell the home cook how to make an acceptable substitution. Better yet, when we buy Ben and Jerry's I can't believe the FDA allows them to sell a product that has uncooked eggs... more info

The ice cream turns out so well from this book. I use a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker with this and my ice cream is WONDERFUL. So far the pumpkin ice cream has been the biggest hit.
Entertainly and Educational:
We purchased this book at the same time as we invested in Cuisinart's Indulgence Ice Cream Maker. Both were excellent purchases and make a great team. Please read the introductory pages and sidebars in this book. Not only a fun read but also enlightening and encouraging for small business dreamers and ice cream makers. All of the recipes I have tried say they make a quart. This is a generous (of course) quart because generous is part of Ben and Jerry's philosophy. We like a little sweeter... more info
