The best and simplest vanilla ice cream recipe is here:

Really ugly webpage but very good recipes here:

If you are making ice cream for a crowd get an Oster electric one that makes two quarts. If you want less ice cream, but easier, buy the Cuisinart.
Make sure, when you make your custard, that you chill it before putting it in the ice cream maker. If you put the custard in hot you end up with soup.
Resign yourself to the fact that even if it's 105 degrees in July, to make good ice cream you are going to have to stand over the stove stirring frequently.
I have a recipe for butter pecan that is absolutely divine. PM me if you want it. It's ice cream making 202, though, not quite for beginners.
The absolute best thing at this time of year is pumpkin ice cream, salted pecans and caramel. I had a sundae at the Franklin Fountain on Sunday and it was otherworldly.
Hope this helps--cheers, Gutie
