5.0 out of 5 stars No better book for the ice-cream lover, maker and eater!, 12 Jan 2002
By D1HAJ "D1HAJ" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This book is what it says: definitive, but delightfully so. There is barely an ingredient that does not have its own recipe: multiple, subtly different, versions from the old favourites - vanilla (9), chocolate (17) and strawberry (4) - to the exotic: gin and tonic, lychee and lime or rosewater sorbets; saffron, green tea or avocado ice-creams. No better recipes exist anywhere for the ultimate expresso coffee or brown bread ice-creams (I've had my share of disasters at both until I got this book). Alcohol in ice-cream is well explained, as are all the underlying scientific dimensions to freezing different types of mixture to create a perfectly balanced texture: neither grainy nor watery. There is a thoroughly researched and fascinating history of ice-cream making from the 18th Century, and of selling ice-creams in places as diverse as Glasgow, Paris and Baltimore. All ingredients and recipes are 'translated' for those ice-cream aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic to have no trouble making - whether your taste is for Cornish clotted cream, Scottish rhubarb or English stilton; or dulce de leche, spiced pumpkin or tequila,; whether you buy 'whipped' or 'heavy' cream, and use quarts or litres. More global ices are also well represented: a fail-safe kulfi, an excellent halva and a mai tai sorbet are examples. Over 200 recipes, and each one works a treat. This book is an ice-cream lover's ideal bedtime reading: a host of heavenly recipes to dream of, and then make and enjoy. Everyone with an ice-cream maker should buy this book; but all recipes explain how they can be made without. My most indispensible specialist food cook book, and possibly even the one book I'd take to my Desert Island on the grounds that if you can't have ice-cream you can at least think about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A picture saves a 1000 words?, 26 Aug 2003
By A Customer
After the purchase of my new ice cream maker, I started to look around for some good books to get me going. Most of the ice cream guides are slim volumes and packed with lots of full page colour photos - what a waste of money! Ices:the Definitive Guide is drab by comparison but instead your money is spent on terrific and thorough content. Fully researched, well organised and covering all aspects, historical, technical and practical, this book is the launching pad for any competent ice cream and sorbet chef.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that changed my life!, 23 May 2000
By A Customer
Since I bought this book three years ago, I have discovered an endless flow of wonderful recipes. I decided three years ago that I would make one recipe a week. In this way I would try out all of them in about four years. However, it has not turned out quite that way. The recipes are so good I keep returning to my favourite ones. One thing is for sure my friends adore it....
