A Month of Sundaes
This book is so delicious that it will make your taste buds tingle for the delight of ice cream and warm, runny
syrup. Michael Turback’s charming book tickles both memory and appetite.
Each Sundae on these pages shows off American inventiveness while expressing our essential character: big and splashy to behold, refreshing and easy to enjoy.
A Month of Sundaes is sauced in the lore of America’s quintessential dessert. Sundaes are us--and have been evolving since a Maryland governor dished up ice cream for guests in 1700. Thomas Jefferson splashed
maple syrup on vanilla, Dolley Madison folded in fresh strawberries, and an enterprising Ithaca, New York, soda fountain proprietor topped off his 1892 creation with a candied cherry.
The author remembers great soda fountains of the past and visits today’s best ice cream parlors to deliver their flavors in descriptive nuggets, sprinkles of insight and 150 Sundae recipes.
His tour takes us through the United States and Canada, and jets us to London and Paris. Along the way, he delightfully tutors us in the dialect of “Fountain Speak” and brings us the Sundae musings of
onetime soda jerks from Harry Truman to Malcolm X. America, viewed through the prism of the Sundae, is a place of nourishing tradition and never-ending new treats.
An award-winning restaurateur for three decades, Michael Turback is now the proprietor of an online department store. He and his wife, Juliet, live in Ithaca, N.Y., where he runs marathons, and eats a Sundae every day. (From Red Rock Press: www.redrockpress.com) |
