This was a fun book. It‘s written like The Core of an Onion, in that it‘s half history, half recipes. I love butter and love to try all kinds. This book tells you how butter has been made through the centuries, its values, and significance in religion. It‘ll have you thinking about just how special it is every time you grab a spoon of it!
The Great Butter Rebellion, which took place at Harvard University in 1766, was the first recorded student protest in the United States. Since the opening of Harvard‘s gates in 1636, food service had been an issue and the quality of the butter was exceptionally poor. Apparently one meal with particularly rancid butter led Asa Dunbar (the grandfather of Henry David Thoreau) to jump upon his chair and proclaim: “Behold, our butter stinketh!—⬇️
Friends, I think our furry family members have been holding out on us🤣I need my husky and two Bostons to start making some butter for me!

This is a good installment in the Edible series -- some of them are a bit drier than others, but this one seemed genuinely enthusiastic about ice cream, and not too pedantic about how X counts but Y doesn't blahblahblah.

I love the “Edible“ series, and got this new one for Christmas, sooo when I was restless and couldn't decide what to read, I decided to grab it.
...Mostly right now I am really craving some vanilla ice cream, which was a predictable outcome.
As I‘m going to start Thanksgiving prep tomorrow, I thought I‘d start this book tonight to get me in the mood.

While both modernize recipes inspired by novels Dinner w/Mr. D is a bit more traditional Britsh. Jane Austen's Table seems to have easier Americanized more doable recipes. Both have nice food history sections. Happy to have both in my collection. 👩🏻🍳#cookingthebooks
