Rating: - A Kiwi's perspective
A new cookbook that makes you instantly want to try at least a dozen recipes is an exhilarating find. Perhaps it was the thirty-degree day, when I first paged through David Lebovitz's vast selection of frozen delights, that spurred my excitement about where to start. Kiwifruit sorbet?

Rating: - This book should be included with every ice cream maker
What can I say? "Perfect Scoop" will make you look like a superstar! I've been playing with this book for months and to date, I've tried over 1/3 of the recipes. I've used this book more than any other in my collection. The photos are enticing and the recipes are written in a clear, approachable manner. David sets you up for success. My top 3 favorites: gianduja, Vietnamese coffee, and malted milk.

Rating: - Great well rounded book
I decided to purchase this cookbook after buying a new ice cream machine. After reading the reviews I thought to give it a try. This is a great source for everything related to making your own frozen desserts. The additional sections on toppings etc. was a great bonus. KC
