Of Sugar and Snow: A History of Ice Cream Making chronologically narrates the history of ice cream and ice cream production. This work is of great interest to food historians as well as to those interested in foodways or those simply looking to understand more about this frozen treat. Author Jeri Quinzio's interest in engaging different audiences allows her to move seamlessly between ice cream production and consumption with reference to cultural, social and technological histories. Quinzio cites recipes, cookbooks, business histories, trade journals and media in an effort to demonstrate that frozen desserts are a longstanding and important part of many societies. While this book does meet the stated intent to document how ice cream was both created and consumed, the voice of the ice cream consumer is often absent. This does not, however, detract from what is a smile-inducing romp through a variety of fascinating vignettes about a much-loved food--even if its ancient and modern forms and definitions are contested or perhaps evolving.
