The Ultimate Guide to Homemade Ice Cream: Over 300 Gelatos, Sorbets, Cakes & More (Ultimate Guides) Hardcover – August 15, 2012

“Homemade” in the title is misleading. This is a book for professionals, but it is full of interesting ideas for interesting ice creams such as various tea ice creams and unexpected ingredients such as cauliflower. The ice cream cakes, etc., are way beyond home cooks (or at least me), but again they offer interesting ideas.

This book features obscure and very complicated recipes. The recipes are completely gourmet. It is interesting but not practical for me.

Good stuff

I am new to cooking and especially ice cream recipes. I find this kindle book to be nearly unusable. The index and many references call to look at a specific page - but as this is a kindle book it has no page numbers! Also, due to my inexperience, I just lost a batch of strawberry ice cream because the way amounts are provided. I thought I was to add an amount of lemon juice when the amount was referring to the cream needed (a big difference that a more experienced cook would know). My mistake, and some ingredients and time waisted. I'm learning I guess. But the ultimate guide is not as helpful as I was hoping for. Perhaps in actual book form this guide would be better.

I use it regularly. It is clear, almost encyclopedic in how much it covers, yet engaging and interesting.

Unbelievably pretentious. I suppose if you are looking for white asparagus ice cream this is the book for you.
