pickThis 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!—⬇️

pickThis 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.
It's illustrated and has recipes, like the others, and makes me wonder if we should try making ice cream at home... just to see what it's like.
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.
Wow - what a gem. Thank you @catiewithac - you‘ve married my two loves (history and cooking!) together in a book. Cant wait to dive in after the festivities and learn and cook! It‘s perfect. Thank you. And as soon as spring comes I‘m planting my little seed tag under my little library window. ♥️♥️♥️
As I‘m going to start Thanksgiving prep tomorrow, I thought I‘d start this book tonight to get me in the mood.
