It's a little... well... really NOT meaning to be clever here: her writing style is a little chilly. A little academic. I should give it another shot. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt in a way I ordinarily wouldn't. (  ) mcglothlen | Apr 25, 2007 |  An amazingly scholarly work by the much revered cookery writer; The complete (and I do mean COMPLETE) history of how humans began to use ice to preserve and enhance food, and finally how they came to eat ice cream. Fascinating and informative. (  ) herschelian | Jan 18, 2006 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com (ISBN 0718137035, Hardcover)A seminal food writer, Elizabeth David brought Mediterranean cuisine to English readers and became a national institution, her cookbooks beloved not only for their recipes but for their literary depth. In the 1970s David began researching ice-cream. It was an innocent enough idea, but she got side-tracked--the result was 20 years of research into the whole history of ice and ice-making, and this book, which she died before completing (it has been finished by Jill Norman). As revealed in extracts from the earliest writings on the subject, ice, before the days of refrigeration, was an item prized by the mightiest and warmest empires. Though not a cookbook, this encyclopedic treatise on ice won a 1995 Julia Child Cookbook Award for Literary Food Writing, and a Jane Grigson Award.(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:56 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada.
