Last year for Father's Day I gave my husband a Cuisinart ice cream machine.  Well, I might have given it to myself, but only so I could lovingly hand make him fabulous ice cream.  I made all kinds of ice cream last year, but it is August and I am just pulling it out for the first time this summer.  I've been a bit of a slacker on the ice cream front I must confess -- however, I think this strawberry ice cream recipe has redeemed me. I am not a trained chef -- just a home cook who enjoys good food. Although I do create some recipes myself, I like most people, search through my cookbook collection and cooking sites for classic recipes.  The best recipes use a few excellent ingredients and this recipe from epicurious.com nails it!  It is by far the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had anywhere.....creamy goodness with the strawberry the star.
