March 2009 . Ice Cream: The Delicious History
Here’s to another wonderful weekend of good books. I tend to read rather heavy food books but Ice Cream: the Delicious History by Marilyn Powell surprised me — it was a quick, fun, and light-hearted recount of how ice cream made it’s mark in life (but it’s also not all that factual, so it’s best to treat it as a fictional story).
I’ve got stacks of books ranging from memoirs and biographies to the edible history of culture and once I’m back from my vacation away from gastronomy (currently reading Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the world he made up by K.C. Cole), I’ll dive into my collection of edible history books with much zest.
But really, can I truly separate myself from food?!
