page: Section1; } Be it soft-serve, gelato, Indian kulfi or Israeli
glida, some form of ice cream treat can found throughout the world
in restaurants and home freezers. Though ice cream was once
considered a food for the elite, it has evolved into one of the
most popular mass-market products ever developed. In Ice Cream,
Laura B. Weiss takes us on a vibrant trip through the history of
ice cream from ancient China to modern-day Tokyo in order to tell
the lively story of how this delicious indulgence became a global
sensation. It's a tale populated with Chinese emperors, English
kings, former slaves, women inventors, shrewd entrepreneurs,
Italian immigrant hokey-pokey ice cream vendors and a gourmand
American First Lady. Though Europeans came up with the first modern
recipes, Americans have long claimed ice cream as their national
dessert. Indeed, from the sundae to the cone, American
entrepreneurs popularized the treat, developed the modern ice cream
industry and gave the world the soda fountain - that nostalgic icon
of American innocence and small town values. Weiss tells of the
iced sherbets made in the Middle East and brought to Europe, the
frozen confections made at the French court, and nineteenth- and
twentieth-century sodas and sundaes with names such as 'Over the
Top' and 'Purple Cow'. Today American brands can be found around
the world, but vibrant ice cream cultures like Italy's continue to
thrive, and more recent ones, like Japan's, flourish through unique
variations. Weiss connects this much-loved food with its place in
history, making this a book sure to be enjoyed by all who are
beckoned by the siren song of the ice cream man.
