Summary: Add an ice cream maker for a great wedding present
Comment: This is a terrific book, and it solved my perpetual problem of what to give people I know well enough to go to their wedding but not well enough to drop $800 on a wedding present. The recipes in this book make great ice cream. Toss in a decent ice cream maker, and you have a present that no one else will think of, that the receipients will appreciate, and one that they will use over time. (For what it's worth, I usually give the Donvier hand-turned machine because it makes dense, smooth ice cream that reminds me of gelato.)
Anyway, about the book and what makes it so great: Ben and Jerry tell you how to make their most popular ice creams, and a bunch that I never saw before. They provide multiple recipes for chocolate ice cream, and write clearly about how they are different. A friend of mine once made all the choclate ice creams and had a tasting party. It was interesting to see how different they really were. (And this book taught me the secret to great chocolate ice cream taste: a pinch of salt--really!)
If you are worried about using eggs, you will want to use a pasteurized egg product in place of the raw eggs. Other than that, this is a terrific book. Lots of good ideas, excellent recipes, and enough discussion about how to create new flavours to encourage even the most reluctant recipe-inventor to go hog wild.
I wish there were a sequel.

Summary: CREATIVE EASY TO PREPARE ICE CREAM RECIPES
Comment: This is a great ice cream book, full of simple no cook - no wait recipes with ample illustrations to keep your mind alert. The author's sense of humor makes it a very enjoyable read, but the recepes themselves are the stars. They share such favorites as Cherry Garcia, Mocha, Health Bar Crunch, Orange Cream, Kiwi Sorbet, Cantaloupe and Oreo Vanilla.
My only problem with this book is because it was written awhile ago, they are still using raw eggs in their most popular/recommended ice cream base. Substitute with a pasterized egg product (Egg Beaters/Better N Eggs) if you aren't sure of the freshness/safeness of your eggs.

Summary: Good Food and Lots of Fun!
Comment: We recently purchased a high-end electric ice cream maker (the Simac "Gelatio Magnum") and, along with it, the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Book; we're in love with both products! Ben and Jerry share the recipes for all of their best flavors--including chocolate chip cookie dough and Heath Bar crunch--plus tell you their own story and "ice cream philosophy." It's a fun cookbook with plenty of practical tips.
So far we've made six or seven of the recipes, including the French Vanilla (not as rich as I'd like), Strawberry Banana (wonderful, but add an extra banana) and Orange Dream (our favorite). Their sweet cream base is extremely easy to make--it takes about 15 seconds--but if you prefer a richer, more creamy consistency, look for a cooked "custard"-style receipe.
