Too much corn syrup:
I've found the recipes a bit hit and miss in terms of my personal preference. My biggest complaint is the frequent use of corn syrups as ingredients--the whole reason I'm making homemade ice cream is to use fresh, natural ingredients rather than buying ice cream from the store full of corn syrup and other processed ingredients.
loving the treats:
We just bought our new ice cream maker and had no experience at all. This book after reviewing many was the one we chose. We have read most of it and the recipes are well written and easy to follow. The suggestions for variations for flavor and Health (low fat/low cal/high protein) are very helpful as well as needed since we make ice cream now every 3 days. I would highly recomend for the novice or experienced.
Good Ice Cream book:
Some folks say when you make your own homemade ice cream it proves you have way too much free time. I don't think so. In my opinion the commercial ice cream products in the grocery store have too much Tween80 and other artificial ingredients. I looked for a neighborhood store that provided soft serve real-fruit or real-chocolate ice cream without the other stuff necessary for shelf-life. There wasn't one, so I started making my own ice cream at home. This book really simplifies the learning process.... more info
Great book:
Good reference book for those of us that need help making homemade ice cream. Very easy to understand and follow, and a great buy.
