Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
This cheery little cookbook celebrates the innumerable pleasures of ice cream, from simple Milk Chocolate and fresh-tasting Strawberry to elaborate Raspberry and Kaffir Lime Leaf Sorbet. The authors provide a glossary of ice cream terminology and a useful guide to toasting nuts, caramelizing condensed milk and performing all the other steps necessary to churn up homemade ice creams, gelatos, yogurts and sorbets. Although the authors do call on readers to make their own whenever possible, several of these recipes would be delicious even when made with purchased ice cream. The recipe for Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Morsels, for example, requires nothing more than ice cream and melted chocolate, but turns out decadent little dessert nuggets. The cookbook even goes global with recipes for Italian Affogato, which is essentially ice cream dunked in espresso, and a Cuban Virgin Mojito sorbet-cocktail that tastes like the essence of mint and lime. Each recipe is accompanied by an attractive photograph, urging readers to dust off that old ice-cream machine and get started. (June) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Review by Library Journal Review
From the authors of Juice! come 80 recipes for ice creams, sorbets, granitas, and other frozen desserts. While Cuthbert and Wilson do include classics (or "mother ices," as they call them) like strawberry and vanilla ice cream, there are also many exotic treats, from Geranium Leaf Sorbet to Kaffir Lime and Coconut Ice Cream. Each recipe is accompanied by an identifier line-e.g., "seductive," "toasted crunch," "fragrant"-and there are mouthwatering, full-page color photographs throughout. For most dessert collections.
