Product Description
Product Description
The most thorough, comprehensive, and authoritive book on making ice cream, sorbets, gelati, parfaits, and granitas, served with a generous and delightfully entertaining history of frozen desserts.
Combine one part nostalgia, a dash of history, a level teaspoon of advice on equipment, ingredients, terms, and techniques, plus a generous helping of more than 200 recipes, and you have the makings of this loving, dazzling tribute to frozen desserts.
Caroline Liddell and Robin Weir have spent eight years in passionate pursuit of everything ice cream. After tracing its evolution across every continent, poring through stacks of background literature, and studing its chemistry, they colelcted, developed, and meticulously perfected dozens of recipes using nine ice-cream makers, then made sure each recipe could also be created in the kitchen without an ice-cream maker.
Their excellent and totally reliable reciples range from the familiar to the exotic, and represent the best French, Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and American interpretations of the dessert no one can get enough of. The majority of recipe are original, but classic favorites are included too, for those who like their chocolate and vanilla pure, simple and creamy cold. With such frozen adventures as Green Tea Ice Cream, Tequila Granita, Basil Flavored Lemon Sorbet, and Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream to choose from, you'll find the perfect grace note for every occasion as well as the classic "sides"--such as oven-baked wafer cones, crisp almond cookies, and decadent butterscotch and chocolate fudge sauces--that are indispensable for proper ice cream enjoyment.

I bought "Frozen Deserts" a few weeks after a friend gave me an electric ice-cream maker for my birthday. The first batches, made from recipes in my otherwise dependable fanciest cookbooks, had been disappointing and I was desperate for help. The Liddel and Weir book taught me techniques that improved the results. I now can make first rate frozen desserts, sorbet and gellato even from less detailed recipes found in other cookbooks.
Liddel and Weir's strength is the detailed techniques using only simple fresh ingredients. Those techniques, along with the recipe for Italian strawberry gelato with balsamic vinegar are worth the small price of the book.
--One warning on taste: US cooks may want to substitute freshly squeezed juice and candied citrus rind for cooked juice and raw citrus peel that the authors use for lemon and grapefruit sorbets.--
Indulge yourself in their many recipes for chocolate ice-cream and vanilla ice-cream. They are rich, smooth, custardy and delicious. This cookbook is a must for anyone serious about learning to make gourmet quality homemade ice-cream.

The ice creams in this book are based on a cooked custard, so there are no raw eggs to be concerned with. Many of the ice creams I have made come out of my electric ice cream maker ready to eat, soft serve style. If you want the harder ice cream just freeze them for a couple of hours. These recipes use only the finest ingredients, and they do not skimp on quality. Although the preparation time (making and chilling the custard) is lengthy, the results are well worth the time and effort. I have even made these ice creams with sugar substitute, and no one who ate them could tell that they were sugar free. Recipes are also included for making cones. There is also a great history of ice cream section.

I read the other reviews & thought they must be friends of the author! But I bought the book. They may be friends now. Apart from not having any pictures (I'm afraid I'm a cook still at that level) the book is great. Some very unusual & tasty recipes. Try the Grapefruit & Campari Water Ice. It's worth the price of the book just for that one!
