I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J · Rating 3 out of 5]

Would've given 4 stars for the recipes, organization and photos themselves. But then I read the blurb on the back cover again and noticed that nutrition information was supposed to be included. Went back to the recipes to take a look and found them in small print at the bottom. The values are according to portion, so there's no way of comparing across recipes. Sure, readers can whip out their calculators to compare but even then, portion values are never accurate unless the weight of a portion is included as well.

I love this book, it has so many recipes and so many range of ice creams. I now know how to make a lot of ice creams thanks to this book. I recommend this book to all ice cream lovers.
