Pops!: Icy Treats for Everyone Kindle Edition

To expensive for telling you to use store bought ice cream and sherbert to make these pops and buy different alcohol. I wanted to make homemade pops not half homemade and store bought! Crazy and they are expensive ingredients and very time consuming to make. Definiaty not a quick and easy book and who has half these ingredients in the house!!! I was fooled by the cover looking pretty but didnt realize you better go buy store bought ice cream in sherbert and a zillion ing. to make these.Maybe for a special occassion this book would be good.

I bought this as a fun thing to do with my boys over the summer. It is a very nice recipe book with beautiful color and pictures. Lots of terrific popsicle recipes...many beyond anything I would have thought of. They are all fairly simple and all different kinds to choose from. My boys liked it a lot too. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun popsicle/treat cookbook!

This book is great - it gives me just what I want in a popsicle book, which is flavor ideas/combinations I wouldn't come up with on my own, and a range of difficulty from simple to complex. There is a bit of everything, for any palate and level. If you want a simple pop, there are lots that are very straightforward - example: Apricot Pops are made with water, sugar, apricot nectar and fresh apricots. Make a simple syrup, cool it, combine with apricot nectar and apricots, put in molds, freeze. Lots of very simple ones like that. Plus every recipe has variation ideas, like Apricot & Basil or Apricot & Cherry, plus it tells the yield which is helpful since all molds are different sizes.If you are looking for complicated, you can find that, too, like the Cookie Dough Pops, in which you make your own cookie dough, bake some of it into cookies, stir the rest into vanilla ice cream, then make cookie ice cream sandwiches on a stick with it all. An all-day project! There are six chapters and even though we don't drink coffee & tea (chapter 5) OR alcohol (chapter 6) I still say this book is TOTALLY worth the $10 just for the ones I do use: Health Energy Pops (example: Green Apple & Flax Seed Pops), Fruit Juice Pops (ex: Kiwi Pops), Soda Fountain Pops (ex: Strawberry Soda Pops) and Cream & Pudding Pops(ex: Coconut Cream Yogurt Pops.)No one needs a cookbook to tell them how to make old standy favorites (pudding pops? TANG pops, anyone?) But at the same time who wants to put pastry-chef-effort into a simple cool treat? This book offers a very full range and really triple the recipes if you count all the variation suggestions - amazing offerings!

I hesitated before ordering this book because I thought I had enough ideas for some tasty popsicles. But I must say that the book contains some recipes I would have never thought of myself and I'm dying to try them! I appreciate the numerous illustrations. I just wish ALL the popsicles were pictured... One good feature: Alt Pops. For many of the recipes, the writer gives some variations of that recipe that are very interesting. Another excellent feature: the recipes are categorized into 6 groups (Healthy Energy pops, Fruit Juice pops, Coffee and Tea pops, etc.) which I found very useful when I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to make. Overall I think this book is a great addition to my collection of cookbooks.

Not quite what I was expecting. I suppose they were trying to stick a whole lot of variety into a small book. While some of them were helpful, a lot were strange, and others just plain bizarre. Putting a stick in a ice cream sandwich does not a popsicle make.

I was on the fence for a while about weather to buy or not. Finally decided to give it a try and glad I did. Some of the ingredients are a little out of the ordinary but over all I have loved the 6 different recipes we have tried. I am a good cook and know my way around the kitchen, we love to experiment with foods and the recipes we tried were fun and new to us. Grandpas favorite is the chi one, and the grandkids have loved all the different fruit ones we have made. So it was a good purchase for this family.

The book is fine, but there was a large amount of grainy dried... soup (??) on the cover. Like I understand stains and all, but this wasn't even attempted to have been cleaned off. :-/

This book has awesome recipes. Ive made non-alcoholic pops with the kids in my life and they all really had fun making them. I have also made alcoholic pops for parties and they are a massive hit. Warning - they do have a bit of a kick to them without knowing the alcohol content. So take your time consuming. I have a low tolerance and was blitzed after eating 3.

Even after a summer with more rain than sun, this was fun. We tended to invent them on an evening and make them the next day. The recipes were very good and can be adapted quite easily. Great book.

Gives you lots of ideas that beat the ordinary ice lolly on the freezer shelf of the supermarket, takes a few minutes of your time to make

Love the recipes, there are plenty recipe ideas, nice photos and it's also very stylish. And there is more than just recipes like advice on moulds, preparation, etc.

Good

Fab - after reading this my work mates have bought it too.
