Summary
This is a recipe book for ice cream. There are variety flavors for ice cream. This book show or educate or guide reader how to make ice cream anywhere with the recommended utensils. There are three part of the book. First part is the Introduction to the Ice Cream, second part is the recipe and third part is reserved for the “No-Churn Ice Creams Recipes”. In the introduction, the author talks about what is ice cream, how ice cream is made, choosing an ice cream maker, churning, storing and scooping homemade ice cream and working without specific ice cream maker. Then, in the part two of the book that is the ice cream recipe, the author offered variety category of ice creams which ranging from the classic flavour such as vanilla, chocolate and coffee to the ice creams that includes fruits and nuts, sugar and spice in the recipe and the author even included gourmet and holiday recipe. For the part three that is the no-churn ice cream recipe, the author is what I take as being considerate by providing recipes to cater those that do not have ice cream maker or specific utensils for making ice cream. However, the downside of these recipe are it takes more time for the ice cream to set, and most of the recipe consists of whipped cream and this is so that the texture would not be off. This part only consists of 6 recipes which are; No-Churn Vanilla, No-Churn Chocolate, No-Churn Key Lime Pie, No-Churn Butter Pecan, No-Churn Strawberry And No-Churn Cherry Garcia. It’s pretty limited but still reader cannot expect much from working with limited utensils. Also, I think that the no-churn ice cream recipe could be useful for beginner because they do not have to buy the utensils if they do not have one, and the recipe is simple as well. The author demonstrate the method or the instruction well. Her instruction is clear and simple making the recipe book a reader friendly and a kitchen friendly for beginner. I love the fact that on the front cover, the author included the book as the “self-reliance” book which to me as a reader is like the author assure me that this recipe does not require extra hand and is of the easy level or beginner level.
