SWEET INVENTION: A HISTORY OF DESSERT

Book ID/图书代码： 06564012B51936

English Summary/英文概要： A social, cultural, and - above all - culinary history of dessert, "Sweet Invention" explores the world’s great dessert traditions, from ancient India to 21st-century Indiana. Each chapter begins with author Michael Krondl tasting and analysing an icon of dessert, such as baklava from the Middle East or macarons from France, and then combines extensive scholarship with a lively writing style to spin an ancient tale of some of the world’s favourite treats and their creators. From the sweet makers of Persia who gave us the first donuts to the sugar sculptors of Renaissance Italy whose creativity gave rise to the modern-day wedding cake, this authoritative read clears up numerous misconceptions about the origins of various desserts, while elucidating their social, political, religious - and even sexual - uses through the ages.
