Good summary of ice cream, sorbets, and gelato

If it had a butter pecan recipe I would have given it five stars. Even without my favorite ice cream flavor it still gives you all the basics you need to create your own flavors as desired. I like creating my own dishes so this is no problem to me. Still I would have liked to have seen more recipes.
