My thoughts:
I've made several recipes from this cookbook and my two favorites are the Peppermint (which I added chocolate chips to - mint ice cream needs chocolate, in my opinion) and the Chocolate Pecan. The ingredients for most of the recipes are expensive (like raw cashews and maple syrup), but they are healthier than other ice cream recipes I've made. I love how quickly the ice cream can be ready to eat -- within a couple hours.
It takes a blender and ice cream maker to make these ice creams. I used the Vitamix and Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker - both of which I love and highly recommend.

Peppermint Ice Cream:
This flavor is soooooo delicious! I've made it 2-3 times already and just love it! For this recipe alone, I love this cookbook. The ingredients are healthy and it's very easy to make. The green color (which you can't really see in the picture above) comes naturally via a superfood, which I love.
Chocolate Pecan Ice Cream:
This was a unique, but good flavor. I'm used to butter pecan ice cream, but I really liked how this recipe mixed chocolate with pecans.
Overall, a great cookbook. All of the recipes I've tried have turned out and, even though the flavor of a couple (like the Apple Cinnamon) weren't my cup of tea, there have been some real gems. I can't wait to try more recipes.
