Do not buy the Kindle version of this book by David Ivey  1 Stars

DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE VERSION!
I bought the Kindle version and found that all of the ingredients and their quanties were missing from the recipes. Of course this makes the recipes kind of useless. This is really too bad because the book looks pretty good. I also bought the Kindle version of the companion volume, "The Ultimate Frozen Dessert Book", and that book has all the ingredients and is outstanding.
I did contact customer support at Amazon and they refunded my money, and asked that I purchase it again and download it again. I tried this, but it is still the same version that is missing the ingredients. I just thought I'd warn everybody.

Little disappointing by India (Baltimore)  3 Stars
September 27, 2009
My friends recently purchased an ice cream maker and made some fabulous ice cream. I got so excited I ran out and bought one too. I wanted to try my hand at some exotic yet easy to make ice cream. This book features way too many complicated recipes calling for the custard style ice cream (with eggs.) I went online and found easier and better recipes than what I found in this book. You don't need this book- just go online.

Best Ice Cream Ever by CE (San Francisco) 5 Stars
September 15, 2009
Ice cream is a simple affair, really, but there are a few standards in this book that really jump out in front. The Vanilla Ice Cream made with sweetened condensed milk was judged "the best ice cream I've ever had" by a panel of children and adults (disclaimer: they were friends and family, but who will be quicker to tell you the truth? Tip: add a real vanilla bean to the custard base). And the lemon and lime sorbet recipes are so wonderful.
Despite it's surface simplicity, ice cream is a versatile food, and even 500 recipes doesn't cover the amazing diversity one can bring to the dessert. For example, the lime sorbet recipe made with pomegranate juice in place of water? Stupefyingly good. The orange ice cream recipe with passion fruit syrup and crushed cocoa nibs added? Subtle and sophisticated. Start with this book and use your imagination.
If you love ice cream, buy this book. You'll love it even more once you start using these recipes.

No Kidding! by S. Bruce (San Diego, CA) 5 Stars
August 21, 2009
I purchased "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book" due to the reviews and WOW - did the 5 star reviewers get it right! The recipes are super easy to follow and ALL of them look so yummy! I just made the green tea ice cream and whoa Nelly - it is seriously the best green tea ice cream that I've ever tasted. This might be a really bad purchase if you don't have any self restraint pertaining to the consumption of delicious ice cream! I'm already excited about making the next batch - cabernet chocolate crunch - YUM!
