Summary: Must have book for anyone with an ice cream maker!
Comment: I recently got an ice cream maker and had to get a good book with easy recipes. This book is it! Simple and very few ingredients with easy instructions make this book a keeper. My first ice cream (Jerry's Chocolate) was just amazing. Smooth, creamy and the taste was out of this world. I was so impressed that the very next morning I made a batch of Butter Pecan to have after dinner tonight.
I know many people have issues with raw eggs though they do have alternative methods in this book. Another option I suppose would be egg beaters. I personally use raw eggs since I have no issue with them. I have eaten hundreds of raw eggs and have never gotten ill but do get food poisoning at least once a year from chain restaurants- go figure since we hardly ever eat out!

Summary: This books needs updating
Comment: I was really looking forward to this book based on the reputation of Ben and Jerry's Ice Creams. I was VERY disappointed that this book, published in the 1980's, features many recipes that call for whole raw eggs that don't get cooked !! Was there no problem with salmonella back then? I would have expected them to update the book or tell the home cook how to make an acceptable substitution. Better yet, when we buy Ben and Jerry's I can't believe the FDA allows them to sell a product that has uncooked eggs in it. If they have made adjustments they should have let the book buyer in on it.

Summary: MMMMMmmmmmmm....
Comment: The ice cream turns out so well from this book. I use a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker with this and my ice cream is WONDERFUL. So far the pumpkin ice cream has been the biggest hit.

Summary: Entertainly and Educational
Comment: We purchased this book at the same time as we invested in Cuisinart's Indulgence Ice Cream Maker. Both were excellent purchases and make a great team.
Please read the introductory pages and sidebars in this book. Not only a fun read but also enlightening and encouraging for small business dreamers and ice cream makers.
All of the recipes I have tried say they make a quart. This is a generous (of course) quart because generous is part of Ben and Jerry's philosophy.
We like a little sweeter chocolate so I substitute semi or milk chocolate for their unsweetened chocolate squares. I also use a microwave to melt the chocolate rather than double boiler. Just my preference.
We started reading some of the book aloud to our teen kids and they asked for more! Along with their ice cream, of course.

Summary: Interesting ice cream book
Comment: This book was a disappointment to me - three basic recipes for ice cream to which you then add different ingredients. They also have some sorbet and drink recipes. Their background was interesting, but I could have read it online. After making a few of their recipes we decided we liked our old standby (which is one of theirs as well): 2 cups milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk (we use nonfat), then you can add a little more sugar if you like, an egg, almond and/or vanilla extract. Mix and use your ice cream freezer.....easy and delicious with whatever extra goodies you may wish to add! Save your money and buy a little better ice cream maker!
