Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)...well they've got 'em! I was looking so hard to find an ice cream book that had a lot of gelato recipes, and this one has more basic gelato recipes than any of the other ice cream books or even JUST gelato books that I had looked at. PLUS, he has a number of potential variations for each of the main recipes (for instance 6 variations on the pecan gelato recipe, and 7 for banana gelato). To me, this is worth it JUST for the gelato recipes (100 of the 249 pages are dedicated to Gelato recipes and techniques). While there are also recipes for desserts like sherbert or granita (and even directions for ice cream sandwiches and frozen s'mores pie), there are absolutely no "ice cream" recipes, so if that is what you are looking for look elsewhere. If you are searching (sometimes in vain!) for amazing gelato recipes, look no further. UPDATE...After actually TRYING these recipes:
The recipes in this book are fabulous! If you are trying to make gelato that actually rivals the kind you can get on the streets in Spain or Italy (and beats the ones you can get in Boston's North End!), as I said before, look no further. Definitely try the Dulce de Leche recipe, its amazingly rich and creamy...but really, just try them ALL!
And just a note on the authors, I was having an issue with the recipe when I first started out (turns out I wasnt cooking the custard long enough), and sent them an email (their contact info is on their website) and Scarbrough (or his representative....I really couldnt care which!) got back to me in a few hours with suggestions of things I could try to improve my product. I really thought that was very thoughtful and helpful. If it wasnt ALREADY getting 5 stars, they would have gotten another star just for that!
