Great Item If You're Made of Gold!
This is a great item if you're wealthy. Where I live, Organic Cashews are $9.99/lb., Vanilla Beans are $9.00/2 beans, and Organic Maple Syrup is $6/8oz. By my limited math abilities, assuming 1/2 lb. Cashews, I'm paying $20 for a quart of Vanilla Ice Cream. It's really ... I mean REALLY got to be good for $20/quart! (God forbid you should mess up a batch!)

amazilicious
I highly recommend this book. The recipes are easy to follow and the end results are amazing. The first recipe I made was the strawberry rhubarb it was soooo good. Buy It, Try It, you will be glad you did.

good place to begin
i got this because i should not eat dairy and we live in a place where it is hard to get ice cream and it's expensive. We've made the mint a few times and decided that it only needs a 1/4 cup of maple. We made the strawberry with whole berries rather than juicing them and it was very good, again it needs only a little syrup. When we get more ingredients for the other recipes we will try more. i am also experimenting with less cashews and adding rice dream "milk". (the cashews make it quite rich- a little more than my liking so i try to lower the amount.) It's great to be able to use many shelf stable items. I recommended the book to a friend who gave up dairy. They dug out the old ice cream maker for the first time in years and have enjoyed trying some of the yummy fruit vice cream recipes. Do not think this is a cheap home method to standard ice cream. but it is a great alternative for those who don't do dairy. I suggest experimenting to make things to your liking. would like to try almonds in place of cashews- has anyone tried that?
