Title: Outstanding advice
Review: I discovered this little gem when I found that other ice cream cookbooks failed to provide specifics about the essential steps in making ice cream. For instance, many cookbooks recommend cooking a custard until it coats the back of a spoon, but when is that? Is it at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, or 180? This book spells it all out, and it does so with helpful illustrations.It puts the Ben and Jerry's book to shame, both in terms of quality of product and with its no-nonsense practical recommendations. Nevertheless, the average cook may wish to plan in advance when preparing any of these recipes, as they are quite time-consuming.Having used the book to prepare about five different kinds of ice cream so far, I can safely say I've had the most success with the simple chocolate ice cream recipe. On the other hand, while the pistachio ice cream turned out equally sumptuous and delicious, the quantity produced was closer to a pint than a quart.Enjoy!
