Book Reviews of The Ultimate Ice Cream Book : Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, And More
Book Review: Great for inspiration, but recipes need tweaking
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this last holiday season and quickly decorated more pages than not with "to make" flags. Now that I've started, however, the deficiencies are becoming evident. Most of the custard recipes call for whole eggs only, rather than all yolks or a mixture of the two. Using only whole eggs may save you a few calories, but you'll sacrifice texture in the final product and it will be much easier to curdle the eggs when cooking the custard. In addition, there are quite a few erroneous statements (almond paste does not equal marzipan) and strange assembly instructions that cause more aggravation than make sense (grinding nuts with corn syrup yields a sticky mess, not fluffy ground nuts for infusing flavor). Overall, the flavor ideas are numerous and interesting, but the execution is lacking. People with a little know-how (or familiarity with a few key episodes of Good Eats) will get the most out of this book, as ingredient and/or technique adaptations will be necessary for most recipes to get the best results. For novices, remember that 2 yolks are a better choice than one whole egg, slowly temper your egg mixture by using a gravy ladle or turkey baster to add the hot milk or half and half while stirring, and draw a line over the back of a spoon using your finger to see if your custard is finished cooking (if the line holds, it's ready). It's easier than it sounds, but more detailed than the book lets on.
