Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review an advanced copy of this novel. I highly enjoyed it and will be recommending it.

You can never go wrong with an ice cream cookbook!
This one has a lot of recipes that looked amazing that I can't wait to try!

An awesome book on ice cream! Step by step directions, lots of pictures, and lots of mouth watering ice cream recipes!
Everything you wanted to know about ice cream is in this book! Yum!

A perfect gift for any ice cream lover. This goes perfectly with with any ice cream maker to help you make delicious treats at home.

I really enjoyed this book! The pictures and graphics are very attention grabbing and make it easy to picture what you are making. All of the ideas in here looks great and I will definitely have fun trying my hand at making a few! I'm so happy I discovered this book and will be buying a physical copy.

The book is very well presented with a lot of pictures and helpful instructions. The problem is that I do not consume eggs and almost 90% of the recipes have eggs in them which I had not expected.i cannot therefore provide a complete review for a book which I cannot really use
For people out there who do not save any dietary restrictions, this book would be a helpful addition to making ice creams at home. My rating here is therefore based on how beneficial it might be other people

Great achievable recipes that will cause me to scream, you to scream and we all to scream for ice cream.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Perfectly Simple Ice Cream is a collection of 100 I've cream recipes aimed at being made by hand at home.
The recipes vary from easy to harder throughout the book, and there is literally something for everyone within these recipes. I'm sure if you're quite advanced in the kitchen, you could swap ingredients about to create your own unique ice creams too from using this book.
I loved the variety included, which had not just ice cream but sorbets, sherberts, granitas, frozen yoghurt, and ice pops as well.
The book starts with the basics such as equipment needed, techniques, supplies, etc, and each recipe has step-by-step instructions that look pretty easy to follow.
I'd say a huge portion of the book does require an ice cream maker, but there are quite a few that don't which are the ones I'm interested in making as I don't have an ice cream machine. There's so many different flavours included and ideas for different seasons and event types again, making it an all-rounder of a recipe book.
The only thing that knocked it down a star for me was there weren't photographs of every ice cream, which was disappointing as I do enjoy seeing what it should turn out like.

Oh my goodness gracious this book! We just bought an ice cream maker so this book came at the perfect time! The recipes are simple to follow and so yummy! This will be a staple in our house.

This is a great beginners book for someone just starting on their ice cream making journey. Whether you have an ice cream maker or not this has fun techniques and recipes that I think will be fun and useful. Great for anyone looking for a fun activity with grandchildren.

I have been on a mission to make my own ice cream since I bought a kitchen aid attachment for my mixer! This recipes books give so many great recipes that I think anyone is capable of making. I do really like the layout and images in this cookbook, the basics into making the different variations of ice cream is very thorough. I do feel like there could have been more images of the recipes. I look forward to the print version! I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Hmm, this was OK but rather too American for me and although there were a couple of nice sounding recipes there wasn't really anything that jumped out at me and I already have most of very similar recipes in other books.

Perfectly Simple Ice Cream : 100 Recipes Anyone Can Make is a delightful book full of tasty treats and flavour twists. Although maybe simple to a chef is not always the case for everyone else. I liked the recipes for toppings and for the refreshing granolas and there were lots of ice creams I would love to make. Overall a treat of a book.

Ever since getting a Ninja Creami, I've enjoyed delving into ice cream recipes and the science behind one of my favorite treats. So when this showed up in NetGalley, I jumped on the chance to read and review it.

To be honest, I'm a bit torn on this cookbook. While the title promises easy, low-effort, recipes, the authors are professional chefs and so our ideas of 'simple' differ. I think the tagline of "100 recipes anyone can make" is slightly more accurate, as the majority of the recipes involve ingredients and cooking utensils found countrywide.

It's an ARC, but it's the roughest ARC I've ever read. The ingredients for each recipe were halfway through the recipe itself, every 7 words were missing 2-3 letters, and much of the text was light grey (on the medium grey background of my Kindle Fire). I have nothing against hyping a book through ARC reviews, but this book was a good argument for layout editors to meet some sort of minimum bar before asking readers to embark on that. Because of course it negatively colored my experience of the cookbook!

The pros:
-The recipes are organized in a way that makes it easy to hone in on your idea of good ice cream, whether that's classic flavors, booze flavors, more edgy stuff, or whatever.
-No gastronomic Olympics here- the authors have a custard-style ice cream base and recommend fresh flavorings (fruits, herbs, etc.), but otherwise they don't require specific machinery or complex timing.
-I appreciate that the authors advocate things like ice cream socials, and treated this sweet treat as not just a kids dessert.
-They did offer an egg-free ice cream base alternative, though not a dairy-free one (*whomp whomp*)

The cons:
-Despite being a book about ice cream, there were several recipes for other sweet frozen treats. I can forgive frozen yogurt being considered an ice cream, but granita are like Slurpees, not ice cream.
-Every recipe repeated the same ice cream base, instead of just putting it in the front and referring to it. It made the first half of each recipe feel like filler. And when a recipe is 4 pages long, it's the opposite of 'simple'. The editor should've insisted on more conciseness.
-I suppose anyone can make a prickly pear ice cream flavor, but where (outside of the southwestern US) are people going to find prickly pear? I wish they'd included comparable alternatives for the more exotic recipes.
-Every recipe was sized to make a party batch of ice cream (4 quarts, I think). I love ice cream, but I live alone and my ice cream maker can only handle a pint at a time. They did not provide any way to size a recipe down, or else it was totally illegible (you can't always just cut everything in half.)

Despite that, I bookmarked a dozen or so to try sizing down for myself, because I'm just too darn curious and they sounded delicious. Flavors such as Ras el Hanout, London Fog, Chocolate Sherbet, Orange-Cardamom, and Amaretto with Dried Cherries.

Overall, I wouldn't buy this cookbook, but I might flip through it at the library before remembering that the internet is full of great ice cream bloggers with truly simple recipes that are sized for 1 quart, some of which are dairy-free and delicious.

I'm actually famous for how much I love ice cream. I talk about ice cream like I talk about a great friend. This book has tons of recipes for making your own amazing ice cream, along with gorgeous pictures. I don't have an ice cream maker yet but this has convinced me it would be worth it. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I love ice cream. And recently I began experimenting with making my own. This book excites and inspires as I look forward to branching out and trying the recipes in this wonderful book.

A delightful book filled with tasty treats. Visually appealing with clear instructions to create your own ice cream treats.

Lots of great recipes for ice cream, granitas, and toppings! Clear directions make it easy to follow, even if you are not an accomplished cook.
Inviting pictures help round out the book.

Thank you Netgalley and Callisto Publishing | Callisto for the ARC!

I think it's a beautiful ice cream book, unfortunately you need an ice cream maker and I don't have one, but if you have one this book is very helpful, practical and really adorable.

Love the layout and recipes in this cookbook. I'm excited to try more of these - I tried a sorbet this week and it was fantastic. Ingredients are easy to source and instructions were very clear.
