This small volume is an informal history of ice cream told as much through myth, anecdote, and allusion to literature and art as through facts. It is organized thematically, addressing such standard topics as the origins of ice cream, kinds of ice cream (ice milk, gelato, granite, sherbet), forms (soda, sundae, cone, novelty), ingredients, and the technology of ice cream making. The book is interspersed with ice cream recipes from various historical eras.
