WOW! The best ice cream ever!.......2007-10-08
I'm an ice cream fanatic, but my ice cream maker was buried in the basement, because I was never able to make ice cream that was better than store-bought. When I received this book as a gift, I dug the ice cream maker out to try again. I'm glad I did, because every recipe I've tried has been superb - rich, creamy, full of flavor - and far better than anything produced commercially. What a difference good recipes make!
The custard-based ice creams are my favorites (the Vanilla Malt is out of this world - try it with crushed Heath Bars added), but the Philadelphia style Peach was also excellent. It was far fruitier than what I'm used to, as the author said it would be, and it was delicious. I have a Cuisinart ICE-20 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, and Sorbet Maker, White, and the recipes make just the right amount for this machine.
If you take a few minutes to read the sections on techique, and follow the instructions, including multiple bowls, strainers, and ice baths, you'll turn out ice cream that will blow you away.
Love, love, love David's new book!.......2007-10-05
The Perfect Scoop is definitely one of my newest favorite cookbooks. He includes great stories, helpful tips and delicious recipes for classic and interesting new flavors of ice cream, sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt and more. He even includes great recipes for "add-ins."
A must-have for anyone with an ice cream maker.
Buy It Now!.......2007-09-20
I have way too many cookbooks and I can honestly say this is one of my favourites. David's style is easy and enjoyable, the recipes do what they are supposed to do and they taste fantastic. The best part of this book is that both volumetric and weight measurements are included, something which many supposedly great cookbooks by apparent expert chefs do not - something which continues to amaze me. I have one minor complaint - the basic custard method requires too many bowls which makes for too much washing up! However, I can cope with this, because this method has created the smoothest, creamiest, most ice-crystal-free home icecream I have ever had! Other methods I have tried just don't stack up.

Pure and (Mostly) Simple.......2007-09-11
I rec'd. a gift cert. to Amazon w/ a hint to use it for an ice cream book; I had this genre on my list, but no particular book, so I did some research, then read a review of this one somewhere and decided it had to be MY ice cream book. I am very happy with my choice: everything I have made has been divine! I even made ice cream sandwiches with plum ice cream, something I would not have considered in the past. The style is as refreshing as the recipes. I also appreciate that David has cut down somewhat on egg yolks and cream. I started making my own ice cream and frozen yogurt to avoid high fructose corn syrup: I was shocked to find it in my favorite frozen yogurt. (It's no longer possible to find unadulterated corn syrup, even, so I have substituted rice syrup.) I made the Watermelon Sorbetto yesterday and it was fabulous! I live in California where friends often have excesses of homegrown fruit. This book has given me more than one option in nearly every case.This a great book that covers all information for making ice cream + in a small, counter-top ice cream maker, as well as toppings and other goodies. It also includes wonderful hints for embellishing your creations.
The best ice cream recipe book!.......2007-09-10
My kids bought me an ice cream maker attachment for my Kitchen Aide mixer for Mother's Day so I decided to buy a variety of recipe books, as I've never made ice cream before.
I bought this one, the Ben & Jerry book (also good), the idiots guide to homemade ice cream, and a few others that I picked up used.
Perfect scoop is our favorite! Everything we've made has been exceptional.
First off was the Chocolate Ice Cream which was my first attempt at a custard ice cream and the best we've ever had. Next we made the Rice Gelato (with Tangerine rind instead of Orange because that was all I had) which was very good also...sort of like a citrus scented frozen rice pudding.
Last weekend we made the Mango sorbet which was the best sorbet I've ever had, and it was so easy to make. Next up will the Banana Blueberry sorbet. It's a great book and if you're going to get an ice cream maker - buy this too! :-)
Book Description
The former CEO of Ben & Jerry's tells how two '60s holdovers built a single ice cream store into one of America's hottest companies. "Deftly and compassionately captures [Ben's] genius in all its entrepreneurial splendor...This tale will keep you entertained."--
New York Times Book Review.
Customer Reviews:
Good view of the how Ben and Jerry's developed.......2003-10-13
A good recount of how the company got going, but the last few chapters dragged.
There are things to learn about how Ben and Jerry developed their company:
1)They are geniuses at this. They actually figured out mass production without knowing what they were doing, they figured out marketing from scratch, they encountered financing and survived.
2)They had a near masochistic willingness to work. Boy did these guys work hard (it would kill me to do what they did, even if I had the will to do it).
3)They could adapt incredibly.
4) and finally: There are pitfalls and prices to trying to make social profits and business profits at the same time and to not planning your company to be as big as it already is.
You can learn about businesses in their growth phase from this book. You can learn about making sure a company has sufficient controls in place for its size. You may be able to learn whether you have what it takes to be an entrepeneur.
The first 3/4th of the book were fun to read but for some reason the last couple of chapters, when Ben and Jerry were playing less of a part in the business, were slow and boring (I don't exactly know why but I know they dragged).
Not for serious business interest.......2003-04-24
I read this book at the suggestion of a business school professor. It was supposedly a great illustration of the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurs.
I found that the book tried more to be humorous than to convey any business knowledge to the reader. Everything seemed to be an inside joke. Rather than producing a well thought-out account of a business experience, the book fell flat with dumb humor. I was very unimpressed with how the company was run, and I don't feel like I got much from the book.
The Inside Scoop is just that !.......2001-02-26
It's a chronicle of the intriguing journey of junior high friends who split the $5 cost of a home study course in making homemade ice cream and turn it into a $237 million company (1999 sales). Ben & Jerry's antics of giving away ice cream so they can 'get the ice cream into people's mouths so they will buy it,' take on some unusual situations. Free cones are offered to folks who register to vote, donate books to Head Start, or send postcards to elected officials for a variety of causes, and to celebrate at Fall Down Festivals with block long stilt walking races, music and other amusements. Solar-powered mobiles are used to transport the ice cream and a show on the road. They still sponsor customer appreciation day once a year when free cones are dipped all day.
It's hard to resist a bowl or cone of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Cherry Garcia as you read this humorous show and tell of two guys who really want (and do) make a difference. You'll be ready to book a snow shoe tour of the Vermont plant by the time you finish reading about these guys' mission. Their values-led business (in addition to having fun) is to produce the best ice cream from Vermont dairy products, to increase the value of the of the company for the stockholders and create career opportunities and financial rewards for employees, and to improve the quality of life for the community. (They donate 7.5% of pretax profits to Ben & Jerry's Foundation that supports a variety of causes that improve the quality of life for children.)
I'm using this book as a project for an organizational communications course and enjoyed the reading (and eating) more than I ever expected. It was the most fun I've had doing homework!
the subtitle says it all.......2001-01-24
This was a really good book that shows "How Two Real Guys Built a Business With a Social Conscience and a Sense of Humor." This should be required reading for MBA's along with Hawkin's Growing a Business.
Hope for the Little Guy.......2000-04-04
Although Ben & Jerry's: The Inside Scoop was a little long-winded at times, I thought it was a good easy-to-read book for non-business majors wanting to start a business. Lager's style of writing makes Ben & Jerry seem like two regular guys up the street who had a dream and went after it with all the gusto they could muster. The book would not serve as a business plan protocol necessarily, however, it does display the true entrepeneriual spirit needed in order to make a business successful. Lager does a wonderful job of showing how Ben & Jerry fed off of each other and when one door closed in their face, they found another way in through a different door or window -- exactly what has to be done if you are going to grow a successful business.
Lager captured the realism of the trials and tribulations experienced by most individuals who begin their own business. I would recommend this book to anyone who was thinking of beginning his/her own business because it gives a look at the real side of starting your own business by making Ben & Jerry two real guys who simply wanted to start their own business so they did not have to work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for someone else. By putting all the business jargon aside, I felt this was a worthwhile read for someone who needs the reassurance that anyone can start a business and this is how Ben & Jerry started theirs.

The Best Ice Cream Maker Cookbook Ever
ASIN: 0944435092 |
Book Description
Ice Cream! The Whole Scoop, is an in-depth definitive book about the great American passion. Designed to take the mystery out of making ice cream but not the magic, this delightful book is not just a cookbook but a "how-to" guide for ice cream makers. Ice cream lovers will find hundreds of recipes from creamy-rich gourmet ice cream to healthful yogurt to crisp tart sorbets. Part One, "Freeze It," offers recipes for every sort of frozen dessert, including not just dairy ice creams, sherbets and frozen yogurts, but also non-dairy delights such as French sorbets, Italian sorbetti, and rice-based and soy-based ice creams. Part Two, "Perfect It," offers an in-depth explanation of the variables influencing ice cream quality including the ingredients used, the way they're mixed, and how they're frozen and stored. Detailed instructions are offered on how to develop, evaluate, and perfect new flavors. Part Three, "Embellish It," offers tantalizing suggestions for al!
l occasions including combining eye-appealing colors with taste-tingling flavors to create swirled marbles, layered rainbows or molded bombes. Ice Cream concludes with three indispensable appendices: an alphabetical reference of two hundred formulas for creating new flavors, a glossary of ice cream lovers' jargon; and sources for specialized equipment and hard-to-find supplies. Ice Cream! is truly The Whole Scoop.
Customer Reviews:
Informative, Complete, great recipies.......2006-02-05
This is a great book with everything you will want to know about frozen delights, whether made with an ice cream maker or not. Instructions enable you to be creative as well. The Apricot Ice recipie is my family's favorite from my ice cream maker and I've tried recipies from other books. This book is well worth the money!
the ice cream encyclopaedia.......2002-06-22
This is the first book I read about ice cream. Almost any imaginable topic is discussed in it: how to freeze, the sorts of ice, sorbet, punch, ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice cream for restrictive diets, soy ice cream, flavors, sweetening, smooth texture, trouble shooting etc etc...). I have not yet tried the recipes but I'll give it a try. This is a most complete book that I recommend to all, whatever sort of ice cream you like.
THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON ICE CREAM.......2000-08-23
This book is FABULOUS if you want to learn about Ice Cream as well as make it. The author provides the background information that many a cookbook leave out so that you can understand and even troubleshoot your creations. She explains what stabilizers, emulsifiers and other ingredients do for ice cream and even includes a section the various machines available.
She includes ice cream recipies for those with dietary restrictions, soy milk, rice milk, yogurt, ices etc. as well as sherberts, sorbets, gelatos etc. There is an exhaustive "chart" which will cover just about any ingredient you can think of adding to your ice cream which gives you quantities for you to use. The author tested recipes are simple and easy to follow and those that I have tried are great.
I own many ice cream books, but if I were to recommend one book on ice cream, this would be it. This is the true bible of Ice Cream books, there is no other so complete.
"Excellent source of frozen yogurt recipes".......2000-03-18
Or so my wife tells me... she photocopied half the frozen yogurt section from the library before deciding we should buy the book. So far as I can remember, they were all good.
Book Description
Three scoops, please: a travel book, a cookbook and a pop culture history all in one, Everybody Loves Ice Cream is the most complete treatment of the subject a reader can find anywhere. Whether you're looking for a great ice cream stand nearby, a recipe for rocky road, or an explanation for what makes an ice cream "super-premium," you'll find it here. It's true that everybody loves ice cream, and this book tells you why.
Customer Reviews:
A real treat of a book!.......2005-10-12
So far, this book has garnered only five-star reviews, and I absolutely agree with all the raves the other reviewers have given this book. I bought it for a research project along with quite a number of other food history books, and this is probably the best of the lot. It's more than history and facts - yes, it teaches you more than you ever wanted to know about ice cream, but it's fun and entertaining at the same time. The pictures and graphics are fantastic, and make the whole reading experience extremely enjoyable. The book is crammed full of the most interesting facts from what must be hundreds of different sources (for example: Did you know that your favorite flavor may indicate what your personality is like? Or did you know that there is a portable non-electric ice cream maker that makes ice cream after being attached to any moving object or person for forty minutes?)There is also a complete history of ice cream, ice cream recipes, reviews of top ice cream shops, and much, much more. Plus, if you haven't had enough at that point, there's even a bibliography in the back for you to find even more information about ice cream.
My only complaint about this book is that it gave me VERY intense cravings for ice cream - not good for my diet!!!
Everything you've always wanted to know about Ice Cream.......2004-09-14
This is by far the most complete book about ice cream I've ever seen. It's ideal for both adults and kids with fun facts. For example, here's one of the entertaining Did You Know? entries: "In Newark, New Jersey, it is illegal to eat ice cream after 6 P.M. without a doctor's note." The ice cream making tips and recipes make it a wonderful resource for an activity the whole family can enjoy at home or you can visit top ice cream parlors in the U.S. Check out the state-by-state listings included in "Everyone Loves Ice Cream." You'll happily refer to it again and again.
You just can't put it down........2004-07-23
I opened this book with a few free minutes while sitting on my front porch and was still looking at it long after my family was asleep. It's good clean fun. It's so much more than a tribute to ice cream, I swear I couldn't stand it any more and tip-toed downstairs to see if I had peanuts to make a "tin roof" before picking it back up again. The first thing I'm going to do is have great family fun by letting my kids make "Coffee Can Ice Cream". This book brought back such great childhood memories of cranking the old rock salt & ice machine we had all those years ago. In addition to the great text in the book, the graphics and photos put you back in another place and time. I almost feel like taking that trip down old Route 66 after looking at it.
This book will not get stuffed into my crowded bookshelf - it's going to be a great, often-reached-for, home decoration for my kitchen island from this summer forward!
A tasty treat for the ice cream lover in you.......2004-07-20
This book is the most comprehensive guide to ice cream. It's a history lesson, travel guide and recipe book all scooped together deliciously! I found the writing fun and engaging. Arnold brings ice cream to life in a way that had me wanting to chant "Ice cream! Ice cream! We all scream for ice cream!" Makes a great gift along with a pint of a favorite flavor. Highly recommended.
Ice Cream Lovers Look No Further!.......2004-07-20
This book has it all! It's a recipe book, a travel guide, a history manual, and a fun filled fact finder for every ice cream. Easy to read and fun to flip through. Don't miss "Flavors Worth Finding," "Get Sauced," and "Phosphates Preserved: Great Ice Cream and Soda Fountain Museums." I don't know how I survived so long without this guide to my favorite food! Note to My Relatives: Expect to receive this book for all holidays in the upcoming year!

Where are the clues?.......2001-08-07
In this Nancy Drew book Nancy is the detective along with her friends George and Bess. A mystery develops as the team is researching a class project on ice cream. While the girls are doing the research they discover that someone is trying to sabotage the towns new ice cream shop, the Double Dip. The story is told from Nancy's point of view, she does not tell the reader about the clues that she discovers during the mystery. This book did not give the reader the feeling of suspense, there were no cliffhangers or motivation to continue reading. Each chapter ends with a dull ordeal that is solved in the first few sentences of the following chapter. There are better choices for a mystery available.

Book Description
Cool and smooth and sweet, ice cream has long been a favourite treat. It cools you off when it's hot and is too delicious to resist even in cold weather. How did it get to be so scrumptious? Best-selling author/illustrator Gail Gibbons dishes out the latest scoop on ice cream production. Ice cream has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a mixture of snow, milk, and rice. Gail Gibbons details the many firsts in ice cream history, from the earliest ice cream crank to the original waffle cone. Children's mouths will be watering as they follow ice cream's journey from farm to factory to freezer.
Customer Reviews:
Ice Cream offers a fine visual and written history.......2006-09-15
Ice Cream: The Full Scoop describes the history of home and commercial ice cream making, from its hand-cranked beginnings to the origins of the ice cream cone and the modern ice cream factory. Packed with Gibbons' signature drawings, Ice Cream offers a fine visual and written history.
Ice Cream: The Full Scoop.......2006-08-06
Gibbons continues to provide quality non-fiction for the beginning reader. In Ice Cream, she first describes how ice cream was developed, beginning with the Chinese who mixed snow, milk and rice together to Nancy Johnson, who in 1841 invented the hand-cranked ice-cream maker. The excellent diagram of the parts of the ice-cream maker provide an interesting understanding of how people enjoyed this treat before the advent of the refrigerated supermarket product. The second part of the book describes the ice-cream business, beginning with the Jersey cow. The reader follows the milk from the cooling tank through the transportation system to its arrival at the ice-cream factory. Once there, Gibbons takes us on a tour of the various steps that are necessary for the production of the popular treat, including the invention of the ice-cream cone and the various ways ice cream is served and additional ice cream trivia. The illustrations are colorful and simple with just the right amount of detail to support the text. Children and their parents who love ice-cream will want to dip into this book.

double scoop of fun.......2001-03-11
Can Bailey School possibly get any weirder?? Well, funny you should ask...
Our small band of 3rd graders is presented with one of their newest run-ins with the strange and supernatural. Out on a trip to the Burger Doodle, they run into a new counter worker, Scout. In addition to having an odd name, Scout is an odd character! First off, her skin is ashen white, she wears a hooded black sweatshirt, and her eyes are blood red!! Speaking of blood red, what's that weird, thick red syrup she's always putting on her own ice cream? It looks a lot like... like blood!
It doesn't take long for the Bailey Kids to begin to wonder about her and her strange way of almost GLIDING over the tiles. Besides, she doesn't ever laugh or even crack a smile. It's not long before someone suggests that she might be a ghoul: an undead creature in the service of a vampire who is in search of new places for their vampire masters to live. When the Kids find out that Ms. Jeepers, their vampire teacher, is thinking of having her family move to Bailey City, they decide that action must be taken or else the city will be overrun by vampires!! One for a teacher is bad enough!
This is the 31st installment in the Bailey School Kids series and is a bit creepier than some of the others in the series. It's still got all the elements of the other books, a wisecracking Eddie who refuses to believe that any of these weird folk are anything but that-- just weird, not supernatural, a fast pace and fun plot.
I've reviewed a number of the books in the series and am finding them quite addicting. They're fast reads for beginning-to-intermediate readers (though an adult will likely finish them in less than half an hour), and the language is simple and fun. I often recommend this series for students & children who are not very interested in reading because the pace is fast, the plot is simple, and they're generally a lot of fun to read. So, scoop yourself out some vanilla and settle in with the Bailey Kids in this installment!
I would give this book BIG five stars........1998-06-17
I would give this book Big five stars beacause it tells what are they going to do to solve the mysteries and what's going on. I liked it because they give details about how they look like. I would compare this with Vacation Under The Volcano but I like Volcation Under the Volcano better because it has magic. I would recommend this book to a friend because in the book they try to figure out what is going on.

I don't trust this book.......2006-09-08
One of the Midwest's very best ice cream parlors is in Jackson, MI. It is called "The Parlour". This book doesn't even include it at all. The authors couldn't have looked very hard.

Great Book. A real "memory" pleaser!.......2007-06-15
The World's Fair of 1904 was perhaps the best ever. Other Fairs did a lot in there time but, just like the mighty ship, Titanic, we remember this one most fondly.
Seeing the Fair from the "food angle" is an intriguing and festive way to take a trip back in time. And while some things may not have been a direct invention of the Fair it is remarkable to think of how new many of our favorite respites were then including Ice Cream Cones, Iced Tea and Hot Dogs.
When all that most people know about the '04 World's fair was that given to us by Judy Garland and the staff at MGM it's nice to learn more and have a real feel for this great lost moment in time. A great book.
A Celebration of the 1904 World's Fair.......2006-05-26
"Musty 100-year-old books and scrapbooks were my daily companions for months, and I lost all sense of time. Thousands of newspaper articles from 1901-1905 provided the small pieces of information I used as the basis for this book, and weeks of thought resulted in the overall plan for the book." ~Pamela J. Vaccaro

BEYOND THE ICE CREAM CONE:.............2005-09-09

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the World's Fair.......2004-07-06
Enhanced with 169 duo-tone photographs and illustrations, Beyond The Ice Cream Cone: The Whole Scoop On Food At The 1904 World's Fair by academician and food history enthusiast Pamela J. Vaccaro is as informed and informative as it is fun and fascinating! In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 1904 World's Fair, Vaccaro offers an in-depth descriptive history of the foods that were so central a part of the fairgoer's experience. Beyond The Ice Cream Cone addresses such issues as whether or not the ice cream cone, iced tea, hot dogs, Dr Pepper, and cotton candy (under the name of "Fairy Floss") were really introduced for the first time in the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. Were the life-sized "nut" elephant and the intimidating "prune" bear the only displays at the Fair made of food items? What influence did the Pure Food Movement have on food offered at the Fair? The phenomena of free samples to promote the newly burgeoning food manufacturing conglomerates. Beyond The Ice Cream Cone is a compendium of culinary fair lore and examined legendary, providing the reader with definitive historical fact presented with a light and engaging touch. There are even 36 recipes reprinted and available for duplication in the family kitchen! Beyond The Ice Cream Cone is simply wonderful reading and enthusiastically recommended for personal and community collections!
