Rated 5 starsGET THIS BOOK!
I couldn't agree with Bob Carpenter more! I do exactly the same thing. I started making the ice creams and sorbets this summer. I've been making ice cream for twenty years - it's NEVER been better. I DO bake, unlike Mr.Carpenter, but I've been so wrapped up in the frozen desserts that I haven't even gotten to the baked stuff. Bob, if you haven't, make the meyer lemon sorbet. It's a revelation.

Rated 5 starsSpectacular Sherbet and Ice Cream: Technique and Recipes
With the taste of the wild plum sherbet (p. 174) still on my palate, I have to tell you that this is the only book you'll ever need to make the most spectacular sherbets and ice creams you've ever had.

You quickly learn how apples, pears and quinces differ from berries and how they both differ from summer fruits...

Rated 5 starsThe most reliable and versatile cookbook I've ever owned!
Seriously! In the 8+ years I've owned this book (in hardcover), I've looked to it almost exclusively for simple, but elegant dessert recipes.

Rated 5 starsMost reliable pie crust recipe ever!!!
I've made a lot of pies in my day, and the crust is always the hardest to do right. Even if you use nothing else in this book, the pie crust recipe is worth the price of admission all by itself. The lemon meringue pie, lemon tart, apple pie, vanilla ice cream, you name 'em, they're all infallibly good. You can't live without this book another day.

Rated 5 starsIf you have a perfect peach (or other fruit) BUY THIS BOOK!
I was not put off by the large number of recipes calling for an ice cream maker. This seemed reasonable for ice cream recipes. The book has much more to offer: ice creams, sherbets, custards, tarts, cakes, simple or complex fruit desserts, chocolate, spirited desserts, you name it. If you want to make delicious seasonal desserts, from early summer strawberry ice cream to a quick dessert of maple custard for an autumn...
