I LOVE this book! Great stories of Mexico, regional favorites, beautiful photos and OH! the recipes!!! Now I can make Mole Icecream with my leftover mole (full disclosure, I am a chef and Mexican cuisine is one of my specialties, but so much to learn here and it's easy to understand and follow the recipes) or there's a great recipe to make your own mole. Plus so many interesting flavors (Horchata Ice Cream anyone? Or Walnut with Pomegranate? Deviled Mango Sorbet?) and all the toppings, even a recipe for Cajeta, Mexico's famous goat milk caramel, instructions on how to make your own Sugar Cones, even Vanilla & Tequila Whipped Cream. Best $12 I've spent in a long time!!! Great summer gift, too!-Andrea L. Gray
It's nuts that this book doesn't have more raving reviews. Quite frankly, leaving thru it is some form of achievable pornography. These might take a step or two to make but ice cream, generally speaking, is not rocket science. I just love the flavor combos and at times using the recipes as a jumping off point for some improvisation to please our tastes. So far, we've done the Lime Pie Ice Cream (used key limes) and the Horchata Ice Cream. Both were just amazing. Can't wait to try more. Thank you for opening my mind with this!-Daniel J. Magan
There are not enough stars for this book. By far the best ice cream recipe book I've read. I plan on making every. single. one. For those who complain that the recipes are too esoteric, I wonder if they've never heard of a palate cleanser or a chilled summer soup. These don't have to be served as desserts--the recipes are so versatile they can be used for so many things! The book sets your creative culinary mind buzzing!-Waikala
