The ultimate ice cream collection, from Victorian culinary heroine and "Queen of Ices," Agnes Marshall
A delightful addition to the Cookery Classics series, this book contains more than 100 ice recipes from Marshall's classic Victorian Book of Ices, first published in 1885 and cited as an inspiration by Heston Blumenthal. Delights include thirst-quenching ice creams, sorbets, mousses, and iced souffles, with traditional flavors accompanied by such tempting recipes as burnt almond cream ice, tea cream ice, bergamot ice water, sorbet of peaches, maraschino mousse, chateaubriand bombe, plombiere of strawberries, Muscovite of oranges, and, for the particularly adventurous, souffles of curry a la Ripon. This edition also features culinary historian Barbara Ketcham Wheaton's annotations, updating each recipe for modern kitchens.
For generations, children have received Christmas gifts of hard, sweet, crystal-clear edible shapes of red, green, and yellow animals, trains, ships, and other objects called clear toy candy. The candy is made from a solution of sugar, water, corn syrup, and food coloring. The shapes are formed when the hot solution is poured into molds in which the candy quickly hardens. This book provides tips and techniques for making the traditional candy, with information on ingredients, utensils, and the correct cooking conditions. A brief history of the candy and a discussion of the antique molds make this book essential for all who want to carry on this delightful winter holiday tradition.
