The instructions are fun to read, the ice cream tastes superb! Ice cream making was never easier or tastier. I am getting this for all my family (along with an ice-cream maker) for Christmas this year! Makes a wonderful house warming gift too.

I have never had to fight so hard to get through a book, and it was worth every word. Intense image, amazing passion, harsh honesty. It was reading poetry as prose, becoming so engulfed with an image that it could take hours to move on to the next page. It was just amazing.

This amazing book is thick with literary allusions, verbal play and passionate response to being human, to being in love. That might make it sound dense and too difficult but Cixous' love of language and love of playing with language, clever insights and sincere voice along with her sensous responses, makes this book a rewarding experience. It will not be a book you read quickly but it is also not one you will forget quickly.
