Description
Histroy Cookbook you say? Check out The History of the World in 10 Dinners by Victoria Flexner & Jey Reifel to figure out how to make your dinner table a time machine.  Appreciate how we can travel through time and space through the grocery store & our refrigerators.  And give thanks for the wire whisk while you're at it. ----------- ICE!  How did we ever get by without it?  Well, turns out some people never really had to do without if they had enough money.  But for the little people - especially in the English speaking world, it took until the 19th century for icy treats to  move out into the masses.  Not a lot - but it was a start. And cool spaces for The People (rather than The Leaders) would only take off from there.  Becasue at the same time the Ice King was making deliveries world wide - the power of cold was coming under human control.   Come check out the earliest days of refrigerated America.
