Rating : - Content great!
This is a super recipe book for delicious ice creams, sorbets, drinks and other summer treats. The recipes are mouth-watering, different, and easy to follow. My only disappointment (as the book was purchased as a gift for a friend) was the quality of the paper used in its publication. It would have been helpful to know before purchase that this paperback was produced with 'rough-to-the-touch' paper, as the superb contents would have been greatly enhanced by glossy or at least smooth quality paper. Despite this, however, it is still a good buy and has given my friend lots of pleasure.
