Non-Fiction History
Was ice cream invented in Philadelphia? How about by the
Emperor Nero, when he poured honey over snow? Did Marco Polo
first taste it in China and bring recipes back? In this
first book to tell ice cream's full story, Jeri Quinzio
traces the beloved confection from its earliest appearances
in sixteenth-century Europe to the small towns of America
and debunks some colorful myths along the way. She explains
how ice cream is made, describes its social role, and
connects historical events to its business and consumption.
A diverting yet serious work of history, Of Sugar and
Snow provides a fascinating array of recipes, from a
seventeenth-century Italian lemon sorbet to a
twentieth-century American strawberry mallobet, and traces
how this once elite status symbol became today's universally
available and wildly popular treat.
