The Ice Cream Master's Secrets      By A15UWRZVRDRJHA on 2006-07-18
I bought this book after reading an article in the Cape Cod Times. Dick Warren has been making ice cream at Four Seas for fifty years now, and I've been eating his product for maybe forty of those years. The man really knows his stuff--he's a Professor of commercial ice cream making at Penn State University, and he's spilling his secrets here.
This book is filled with great recipes featuring natural ingredients, but that's not the only reason to buy the book. Recipes are a dime a dozen on the internet. The reason to buy the book is because of all insights he gives into the chemistry of ice cream and tips on how to make your product come out great.
An excellent book for making ice cream      By A3JYLOCC9VMAG7 on 2006-11-05
If you've ever been lucky enough to enjoy Four Seas Ice Cream, then this book will bring it home. Written by the owner, most of the recipes reflect the menu - and help you come awfully close to their products. The book has an amazing array of recipes for different skills - many easy ones (and even a number that naturally have no added sugar) and some more challenging. Also there is a terrific section on preping toppings -- best butterscotch recipe around!
Great book      By A3II34CHT63WP4 on 2007-07-20
Good reference book for those of us that need help making homemade ice cream. Very easy to understand and follow, and a great buy.
Too much corn syrup      By AK1E5E0JSHT6 on 2008-06-14
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.
Good Ice Cream book      By A2BQ4N1BYJ8INK on 2008-03-18
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. Dick Warren's book gives advice and recipes that allow you to make ice cream at home even your own children will request. The Mocha Yogurt recipe is an example. You can not buy frozen yogurt this flavorful.
