This book has a good explanation of why ice cream preparation needs to be done in a certain way, and gives pointers on how to make creamy smooth ice cream and sorbet
Worth picking up even if you only ever make the chocolate and vanilla ice cream. These are the best recipes I've ever tried. Creamier than Ben and Jerry's. I use a kitchen aid ice cream bowl on my mixer.
Some recipes I want to try:
Ice Cream
25 Philadelphia style Vanilla
26 Chocolate- most awesome ice cream recipe!!!
30 Chocolate-peanut butter - didn't like the texture of the peanut butter, maybe try peanut powder next time
44 Butterscotch Pecan
50 Peanut butter
72 roasted banana
Sorbet
109 green apple and sparkling cider sorbet
110 apple ginger sorbet
112 watermelon- good
128 strawberry
129 strawberry-rhubarb
137 pineapple
139 Kiwifruit
Sauces
164 classic hot fudge
168 marshmallow
170 creamy caramel
171 dulcé de leche
174 salted butter caramel
178 candied citrus peel
Mixins
204 peanut butter patties
212 marshmallows
Vessels
223 chocolate ice cream sandwich cookies
227 Almond butterscotch cookie cups
232 profiteroles
234 meringue nests
228 ice cream cones- didn't turn out well

I want to live inside this book.
Tons of simple recipes for homemade ice creams, gelatos, sorbets, and granitas. Many different flavors. Also some theory and general tips.

This book has a ton of delicious & unusual ice cream recipes (as well as granitas, sorbets and sherbets). They are, almost exclusively, French/custard-style - this means that you have to cook a custard, chill it, and then freeze your ice cream. This is not as difficult as you may initially think while reading the instructions, it simply requires you to be on top of things and able to multitask well in the kitchen (or otherwise get everything set up before you start). A handful of flavors are presented in both custard-style and Philadelphia-style (no custard to cook, just mix the ingredients together and go).
I'm only going to copy down a few recipes before I return this to the library, but it's an excellent book to go to for ideas and new recipes. Lebovitz includes a great introduction that walks you through the basics of making ice cream of both types, and things to know about different ingredients (for example, alcohol will make for softer ice cream).
I'm currently waiting for the custard for Goat Cheese Ice Cream to chill, and will probably make some fresh ginger ice cream in a few weeks. Yum!

When I first reviewed this book, I gave it five stars based on its comprehensiveness and the unusual flavors I was excited to try. And after having this book for two years, I'd have to say that it still deserves five stars.
This is the ultimate ice cream recipe book, the Holy Grail of ice cream if you will. Not only does it have tried and true favorites like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and shows you different approaches to making them (e.g. Philadelphia style which is with no eggs, and custard based, which is with eggs) but it also has some of the most fun, unusual flavors that ice cream aficionados will be clamoring to try.
With flavors like:
saffron
black pepper
pear pecorino
parsley
goat cheese
rice
avocado
lavender honey
roquefort honey
olive oil
you've gotta give Lebovitz 5 stars for creativity.
But once you get past the novelty of the creativity, you're still left with a mouth-watering, delicious batch of ice cream. Lebovitz is not just making these unusual ice cream flavors for the shock value of it. He truly cares about making a good product, and would never steer the home cook wrong. Every flavor of ice cream I've made with this book has turned out delicious.
So far I've made:
olive oil
Aztec "hot" chocolate
basil
ginger
rice
green tea
and they have all been outstanding. If you are even the least bit interested in making your own ice cream at home, this book will convince you to be full-fledged, gung-ho about making your own ice cream.

This book holds double (maybe even triple) the amount of recipes advertised! With variations and perfect pairings for almost each flavor, you can refer to this book for years without ever repeating yourself.
The descriptions are fun to read and the flavors are endlessly inventive. I already tried the Strawberry Sour Cream ice cream, and it was a smashing success. I can't wait to dig in even further!

Love everything we've tried in this book. Some of the recipes do take a bit of work, or a hunt for an ingredient, bus so far everything has been worth it.
