Very tasty!! - By: Lorna Mcauley, 26 Oct 2008 
This is an excellent book. I have made quite a few of the recipes & every one has been a winner. I have used the sweet cream bases & created my own flavours based on their recommendations.
Please make sure that you whip the cream as the book doesn't state that you have to!
All receipes are very simple & easy to follow.
Great but... - By: R. Winchester, 29 Jul 2008 
Great book, loads of delicious recipes, & explains how ice cream works. Also has a good (if belt-busting) section of cakes & biscuits (presumably so that you can bash them into bits afterwards & add them to your ice cream). The beginning of this short book is a history of Ben & Jerry's which was interesting but a bit twee.
My only complaint is that all quantities are givenin the rather vague US 'cups' rather than millilitres or grams (or even pounds & ounces). So you're told to put a quarter cup of this, with a half cup of that.
Don't suppose a bit more or a bit less of anything will hurt your ice cream, but slightly annoying to have to convert quantities every time.
A truly great book! - By: J. Henderson, 03 Jul 2008 This is the best book ever! I hadn't even taken delivery of the icecream maker before my son snatched the book from me & made Chocolate Brownies & Giant Cookies.
THe recipes are simple, fun & very tasty. Great for all the family!
Best out of 3 books purchased - By: Mrs. Rhonda A. Ridge, 03 Jul 2008 After buying my Cuisinart Professional Ice Cream maker I ordered three books from Amazon to help mein creating ice cream to die for!
I find that the Ben & Jerry's book is the one I use the most. I was initially put off by the use of raw eggs rather than a traditional custard base but realised that as ice cream is frozen it is not the same as using raw eggsin say a mousse or mayonnaise.
The method for making the most of the ice creams is very quick - no waiting around to chill cooked custard. I find that I can reduce the quantity of sugar slightlyin the recipes with no effect on the results.
Lastly the texture of the ice cream after being hardenedin the freezer for a little while is the better than the recipesin my other books.
I think this is a worthwhile purchase for anyone making an ice cream maker as Ben & Jerry's, Haagen Das & Green & Blacks ice creams are probably what you are tring to recreate.
Not very impressed - By: Mr. Alistair M. L. Irvine, 30 Jun 2008 
Allin all I wish I hadn't ticked the box & opted to take this as a suggested extra when I bought an ice-cream maker. Quite apart from strange US measures (cups) & odd descriptions of different types of cream (that don't chime with our UK system of single, double etc), the recipes are riddled with odd licquers & ingredients you would never go out of your way to buy. For my tastes, a lot of the recipes are over the topin cloying sweetness. If you're buying an ice-cream maker, you'll get some basic recipes with the machine anyway & then you can download plenty for free once you have worked out the basics. Still, at least it wasn't very much money wasted!
