sidewalk_pirate's review against another edition
4.0
I received this book for review from the publisher.
Oh how I love Storey basics!!!!
If I want to know anything about a do it yourself project I have in mind, all I have to do is get one of their basics titles and see, if this is something for me.
I will get to know everything I need to know for the beginner. I will see what materials are needed, what kind of investment I would have to make, not just monetarily, but also time wise... all in one great book and for one small price. I love that sort of thing!
This book is one of the Storey Basics. When it arrived for review, my husband was the first one with his nose in it lol he is an ice cream lover of the first rate!
He read the book cover to cover and then again back to front.
So we will be making ice cream soon-ish in our house.
He told me this book is really great and he loved how easily the recipes and instructions were to understand. He will definitely invest in an ice cream maker this year and get all the butter pecan ice cream he wants! lol
The recipes in the book sound amazing. I personally am not a big fan of ice cream, or any cold treats, but honestly, I can't resist some of those wonderful combinations they are proposing in the recipe section of the book.
I would suggest you run and get your copy, before the temperatures rise too high. That way you are prepared and have a freezer full of yummies to help you cool off!

The sub-title says 52 recipes for classic and contemporary flavors and that's just what the reader will get, plus some basics on the process and advice on machines.
The first part is about what ice cream is and how it's made. There is a chapter on ice cream makers and one on working without a machine. The second part is recipes, then the third part is specifically recipes that don't use an ice cream maker.
The recipes include French style ice cream, which are made with a custard base, and American style ice cream. Flavors are divided into basic vanilla, chocolate and coffee, followed by fruit and nuts, then sugar and spice. Gourmet, holiday and no-churn recipes follow. The no-churn recipes are made with whipped cream, yum!
Many of my own favorites are there, including French Vanilla, Peppermint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Cookie Dough and Eggnog! There are also a couple I haven't seen before, like Browned Butter which sounds very nice!
I will certainly be trying some of these recipes, and with the no-churn recipes in the back, it may be very soon.
