Advantages: Really great recipes, am actually quite surprised how delicious the ice cream turns out to be.

Disadvantages: All of the measurements are American, e.g. 'one cup of butter' etc. Was confusing at first :S

I bought this book, along with my new ice-cream maker, ready to embark on an ice-cream making journey. And that's exactly what I've done, thanks to this recipe book. I started out with a safe vanilla flavour, and have slowly progressed to the slightly more complex and some would say unusual peanut butter flavour. This book is perfect as it includes flavours for ice creams which I would have never thought of myself, and gets good results every time. there really is something for everyone, including simpler versions of classic Ben & Jerry's flavours (Cookie dough being a personal favourite) and simple yet effective French Vanilla, for people like my mum who are slightly new to the world of experimental ice cream. I would seriously reccomend it to anyone, as I was pleasantly surprised that not only does the book contain many ice cream recipes, but also a selection of baking recipes (chocolate chip cookies, brownies) and ideas for sauces and sundaes. Not to mention the story behind the B&J company. I found it truly entertaining and a useful addition to my new ice cream maker.

Summary: Pleasantly surprised, can hardly find fault with it to be honest.
