Description:
According to author and restaurateur Michael Turback, the ice cream sundae is as much of an American tradition as baseball and apple pie. A Month of Sundaes is a historical book about ice cream, with sundae lore and recipes generously spread throughout. The history lesson starts in the 1700s, when ice cream was served only in the finest homes. Interestingly, it was then-ambassador-to-France Thomas Jefferson's obsession with ice cream that brought new versions of the dessert across the Atlantic. Fortunately, the colonists took to the new treat as well and Turback follows ice cream's trail across the continent and over the next 250 years, ending with current tales of other titans of the ice cream world, including Dreyer's and Ben & Jerry's. The recipes are scattered throughout, including some from-scratch ice cream--even explaining the true technical difference between vanilla and French vanilla. There are also many different sauces, with stories of those who created the various concoctions. More of a novelty than a necessity, A Month of Sundaes is most appropriately suited for the ice cream obsessed. --Teresa Simanton
