Fantastic!!!!!! Such a bargain!!! LOVE it!!! - By: loubee, 24 Feb 2008 
Oh my god this is great for the beginner, I am just starting out & have gone Orgaic, this gave me so many great ideas, its a little bit of the quick version, you use a lot of ready made custard & ready made chocolate, but to start with thats what you want & if you want to that can be substituted for home maded custard base, great intro & large section on ice-cream such puddings like chocolate banana ice cream pie, & baked alaska!!! --- I whole heartedly recommend this book, so cheap but a real Gem!!!
Truly easy - By: Dr. R. Spooner, 30 Dec 2007 
These recipes are reallly straightforward, & there is a good introduction which explains the principles of making ice cream. It is well written & friendly, although each recipe has two identical steps which could have been left in the introduction.
Most of the recipes are based on custard or cream (with sections on yogurt-based & non-dairy desserts), which is fair enough, although I wish there were even more variety, & more explanation of when & how to use eggs (it basicallly says not to).
Overalll, it is a great little book.
a waste of money - By: Miriam Grech, 23 Feb 2007 
I bought this book based on a previous review I read, in the hope that having purchased my new ice-cream machine that I would make some yummy ice-cream for the family. Well, its a no-no. To my horror the recipes where less than enticing, I warn you that tomato & basil ice-cream (found in this book) belongs on a plate with mozzarella in the starters section & not as a dessert.
The golden fig & Mandarin & Chocolate Ice where not much enjoyed either. I also think that their vanilla ice-cream made with icing sugar & ready made carton custard etc sounds not only unhealthy but hardly appetizing.
Sorry but I give this one the thumbs down.
Deliciously simple recipes - By: , 17 Oct 2004 I was given this book along with an ice cream maker for my birthday & already we are hooked. The recipes are exactly what they say - simple to make. That doesn't mean they aren't fantastic because the ones we have tried rival any of the 'posh' brands you can buy. Our favourites so far are the chocolate honeycomb & the lemon meringue - so tempting they have barely made it to the freezer to harden off - they've been started on while still in the machine!
The only down side is that I'm reallly struggling to stick to my diet now! The book does have some low fat frozen yoghurt recipes which we will be trying soon!
