Wow, this is a delicious book full of yummy ice cream that is vegan. Healthier than the dairy alternative, you should quickly get hooked on these ice-creams. My only complaint is that as the recipes are all based on the same ingredients with just the flavourings being different, I was unsure of the need to repeat the basic recipe each time. Well worth experimenting with this book and coming up with some favourite personal recipes too. 238 pages of clearly designed recipes that are easy to follow accompanied by pics of the mouth-watering ice-creams. --kaern platt reveiws, december, 2009
