14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Recipes and Good Reference, October 22, 2005 Reviewer:NuJoi (Chicago, IL United States) - I have a few of the books in this series. The Ice Cream and Cake books are my favorites. The recipes are outstanding -- well-written and produce great results. The sidebars provide invaluable tips. If you enjoy the science behind cooking -- ala America's Test Kitchen/Cooks Illustrated and Alton Brown, you will enjoy the books in this series. WS, unlike Cooks Illustrated, presents just the winning method. I've used this book more than my Ben and Jerry's book. I've made the vanilla, double chocolate, orange sherbet and carmel ice cream. With the exception of the double chocolate, I've had excellent results. I found the texture of the double chocolate was grainy, but I am not above admitting it could have been my error. The ice cream basics section is really helpful.
