Before I was even 1/2 through this book, I knew that I had to purchase a copy. Terrific visual step-by-step and easy to follow instructions recipes. The recipes have simple ingredients and lots of different variations. It even includes bases that you can make yourself. There is something for everyone's taste palate. |
Nicole Weston has written a book with easy to follow recipes for delicious frozen yogurt. There are the classics, trendy flavors, cakes, bon bons, and so much more. I can't wait to try her recipe for Key Lime Frozen Yogurt! Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt starts out with the basics on how to make frozen yogurt without the dreaded ice crystals. I've tried a few different recipes and have found I'm not fond of the consistency after day three in the freezer. Nicole uses the Meringue Method to combine the water, sugar and egg whites to get a fluffy, light frozen yogurt without using stabilizers or stirring the sugar in for long periods of time so it's not grainy. This book goes beyond frozen yogurt with lots of delicious recipes to use the frozen yogurt in. None of the recipes call for hard to find ingredients. You will likely be able to make several of the recipes with what you already have on hand in your kitchen. Chapters: Classic Bases Fruits Sugar and Spices Chocolate and Nuts Cookie and Brownie Sandwiches Cakes, Cupcakes, and Pies Semifreddos, Terrines, and Bombes Popsicles, Bon Bons, and Other Treats Sauces I have a feeling that Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt is going to become a staple in my kitchen this summer. There are so many recipes that I want to try! The fruit yogurts will be perfect to incorporate seasonal fruits into. I highly recommend this beautifully photographed, easy to follow book of delicious recipes. |
Just reading through the recipes I was pleased. I have several recipes bookmarked to try out! The book was enjoyable to read for a cookbook. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. |
I got this book prior to deciding whether or not to buy an ice cream maker. I’d been tossing the idea around for quite some time, but was hesitant because I didn’t want real ice cream. I wanted frozen yogurt. This book solidified my decision. I can not wait to start making frozen yogurt and treats from this book! The book contains everything from classic Vanilla and Chocolate to more exotic recipes like Honey and Ginger. I can already see my family loving the recipes from this book! |

I've made yogurt before and was surprised out how easy and how tasty it was. I never thought to go one step further and make frozen yogurt with it. There are so many tasty recipes. They look fairly easy to make. It looks like I just might have to add this book to my kitchen library and break out my ice cream maker. |
A wonderful book full of very yummi recipes and wonderful picture. The recipes are well explained. A very good book for summer treats. Many thanks to Storey Publishing and Netgalley |

Great book about frozen desserts. I tried some of the yummy recipes and am happy to report few ice crystals. So this book has already upped my summer treat game. |
I have an ice cream maker that I've tried to use several times and the results have never been satisfactory. I had the chance to read this book after deciding that frozen yogurt would be my last ditch effort before getting rid of the ice cream maker altogether and resigning myself to only store bought frozen desserts. Just reading through the recipes I was pleased. The same basic formula is used for all the frozen yogurt, and even some of the extra cookie/cake recipes in the back for more elaborate frozen desserts use similar bases, so once you get the hang of one recipe, it's pretty easy to just switch out flavors. Also, the ingredients called for are mostly common pantry ingredients I always have around (with a few exceptions like cardamom, which I haven't gotten around to adding to my spice cupboard yet) and basic, real foods (again, with a few exceptions, because oreos are necessary for making cookies and cream, and such like). So far I've only tried the roasted pineapple frozen yogurt, but it was huge success. The flavor was well balanced and the texture was perfect. My husband approved it, and he had not been impressed with my previous homemade ice cream attempts, so I was very pleased. My ice cream maker will definitely be sticking around for a while now! (Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) |
I received this ARC via Netgalley and I am leaving a voluntary review. I can't wait to try the recipes on my family this summer. My husband loves frozen yogurt and will love several of these recipes. |
Personally I have decided that I prefer my yoghurt as it comes....however if you want a cold sweet and stay on a healthier way, this book provides good ideas. |
As a cancer survivor who has to avoid most dairy, this cookbook was just what I was waiting for. The recipes are clear and easy and really clever. The base of Greek yogurt is inspired. Detailed explanations of kinds of equipment as well as inspired cake/cookie/popsicle/sauce recipes. This book is a keeper - Big thumbs up! |
A great book, I did not try out any of the recipes as it was not in Kindle format and it expired before I got chance to try them. |
Great recipes that were easy to follow. I made a couple so far and they were hits with my kids, one of which is a pretty picky eater! |
This is an excellent cookery book for making frozen yoghurts at home in many different flavours for adults and children will enjoy including a few alcoholic ones. It is split into 9 sections starting with how to make the frozen yoghurt, then moves onto the yoghurt flavours with classic bases, fruits, sugar & spices and chocolate & nuts. There are also sections on how to use the frozen yoghurt by making cookie & brownie sandwiches, cakes, cupcakes & pies, semifreddos, terrines & bombes, popsicles, bonbons & other treats and finally there is a chapter on sauces. There are good instructions throughout the book with colour photographs to accompany the recipes. The frozen yoghurts can be made with or without an ice cream maker. The book also gives instructions on how to make homemade yoghurt, but if you are low on time, you could use a branded yoghurt instead. Recipes are measured in cups, and the author has included a useful metric conversion chart at the rear of the book. Recipes come with an ideas box on 'treats to try' which includes the page the additional recipe is on. For example the strawberry frozen yoghurt the suggestions are: flourless peanut butter cookie sandwiches, banana split layer cake or a strawberry shortcake torte. All in all, a very good book and I'd find it very useful. I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley in return for a honest review. |

Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt: 56 Amazing Flavors plus Recipes for Pies, Cakes Other Frozen Desserts by Nicole Weston. All I can say is.....That I am hooked. This wonderful book is filled with wonderful recipes to make frozen yoghurts with great photo.. However, some can be expensive but not a every day treat. This book is easy to follow instructions and you can make some wonderful treats that all you family will love. Making frozen yoghurts can be very time consuming but worth it especially as you made it and you know whats in your tasty treat. Once you make a few of this recipes you will be hooked I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 4* review |

I tried to open this on kindle fire and on iPad but no joy. The book sounds delightful so I am sad to report I can't review it |
I was so pleased to receive a digital copy of this book. I got a cuisinart ice cream maker for christmas last year and sadly have not used it as much as I had planned to. Now, after reading this book, I have several recipes bookmarked to try out! The book was enjoyable to read for a cookbook. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, the descriptions gave me a good sense of the finished product and made me scream for ice cream. The pictures are beautiful with vivid colors and mouth-watering shots of the recipes which is a big must-have for me in a recipe book. I really liked how the book was set up as well, showing you how to make several different bases and then recipes on how to use those bases to create different flavors of ice creams and various frozen desserts. Very nicely done. . |
