review 1: Vegan ice cream and vegan sorbet, what's not to love?Many of the ice cream recipes in The Vegan Scoop have a soy milk base but the author encourages experimenting with other non-dairy milks such as almond. You will need an ice cream maker, but if you don't have one what a perfect excuse to buy one. Chapters include : Classic with flavors as Vanilla, Toffee, and Cookie Dough; Fruit Flavors with Watermelon Sorbet and Honeydew; Healthy Flavors with Vanilla Chile Pepper, and Peanut Butter Flaxseed; Asian Flavors like Black Sesame, Wasabi, and Cherry Blossom; Novelty Flavors with fun recipes such as Chocolate Pretzel, Pumpkin, Smore and New York Irish Cream; Hosting an Ice Cream Party; and finally the book rounds out with Aphrodisiacal Flavors and Ice Cream Sides, Desserts and... more Sauces. There really is something for the cold treat lover in all of us. The recipes are easy to follow, the instructions are clear, the format is uncluttered and includes lovely appetizing photos. YUM!
review 2: I haven't made any of the recipes yet; so I can't comment on the texture and taste of finished ice cream. But I like the author's ideas for flavors. Since I'm more familiar with using coconut milk as a base instead of soy milk plus arrowroot, I might just use the flavor ideas instead of the recipe for the ice cream bases.UPDATE 9/2013: I have now made a recipe from the book, the one for the Maple Walnut flavor. I have a sweet tooth and I'm not THAT person who says, "Oh, X is so sweet I could only eat a little." However, this ice cream was so sweet that it overpowered everything else. My husband who had specifically requested a batch of maple walnut ice cream couldn't eat it. That said, I still like the ideas for flavors; I just would cut the sweetness. less
