Yum, yum, yum!!!! I can't wait to try every single recipe!

Delicious vegan frozen treats just in time for warmer weather!

[Anna Catherman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Many of these recipes were a little involved and exotic for my own personal vegan ice cream taste and aspirations, but they seem solid and make sense and there's one or two I might try someday.

This book is the best source I have found so far for vegan desserts. For someone who can't have soy, dairy, or egg, this book was the one resource that finally allowed me to have dessert again! The recipes are excellent in and of themselves, and the illustrations make the treats all the more tempting to the reader. Most recipes don't even include too many specialty or hard to find items, although Kaminsky does includes excellent explanations of and resources for finding specialty items. I highly recommend this book (and the Hot Chocolate Ice cream recipe)!

I did not like this book at all.
It has strange and unexpected recipes like Corn Ice Cream, French Toast Ice Cream with bread in it, and Bloody Mary Granita.
I made a couple of recipes and they were disgusting. Waaaaaay too much sugar and didn't work in my new ice cream machine. Besides that the design is awful. The fonts aren't too bad but the pictures don't match and, horror of horrors, most of them are surrounded by coloured boxes. If you're going to put pictures in your book, do what Martha Stewart or Angela Liddon does- make full page pictures and have matching backgrounds, or at least a few different backgrounds that you alternate taking pictures on. But please don't make the picture tiny and surrounded by colourful borders.
I will never look at this book again and I definitely won't be ordering any of her other cookbooks.
No I don't recommend this book.

Including traditional flavors as well as novelties and creative inventions, Vegan a la Mode has ice cream for everyone! With specialty ingredients only when they are truly needed, this is a very usable, everyday cookbook. The pictures are lovely and the results are delicious. What more could a girl ask for?

I bought an ice cream maker (on clearance! - 2012 color closeout) just for the purpose of making recipes from this book. I follow Hannah's blog and her recipes are always easy and delicious. I am very much looking forward to all the ice cream in my future!

I love this book! It changed the way I think about vegan ice cream and showed me that excellent results are possible. Hannah provides solid basics like French vanilla but also very unique flavors I never would have considered.

Great recipes that my non-vegan family members enjoy too!

Fantastic for anyone who's egg/ soy/ dairy intolerant like me.

[R.J. Gilmour · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of vegan ice cream recipes that requires an ice cream maker. Most of the recipes are not surprising and predictable.
