Many early receipts for making ice cream were, at best, a bit vague. Oftentimes, the author assumed you already knew what to do. Here’s one, however, that, although it is basically similar to many of the previous ones we’ve seen, it is also so specific and detailed, anyone can follow it, whether now or 200 [...]

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, ice cream would’ve been made in a sorbetiere: Placed in a tub of ice and salt, it was turned round and round by hand: In 1843, Nancy M. Johnson of Philadelphia, PA, obtained a patent for an new type of ice cream freezer. Rather than spin the interior [...]

A pause to remember. Hearts are heavy here today in NYC, as they will always be on this anniversary. Even the heavens are crying. As the late Red Skelton used to say, “May God bless.”
aww, Hannah…

I’ve always liked Hannah Glasse and her book, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy. There are two facsimiles of her some 50 editions in my personal library: the first, published in 1747; and the 1805 version, which was published in this country. She was one of the few female cookbook writers in her [...]
the first or a copycat?

The other day I posted Hannah Glasse’s ice cream receipt from the American edition of her book The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (1805; the first was published in London, England, in 1747). Shortly after, while browsing through more of my historic cookbooks, I made a rather shocking discovery.Glasse’s 1805 receipt for ice [...]

There are a dozen or so receipts for ice cream in Mary Randolph’s The Virginia Housewife (1824), including ones for vanilla, peach, coffee, and oyster. And apparently, the making of ice cream was an extremely important task, and one not to be taken lightly, as evidenced by the following: Observations on Ice Creams. It is [...]
ice cream receipt, numero deux

Ahh, ice cream is so French, oui? Ou non? Ahem, well, anyway…here’s a second historic receipt for ice cream. It’s also from Hannah Glasse, except it’s from the “new edition” of her book Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy the one “with modern Improvements” that was published specifically for the American market in 1805 [...]
more ice cream (historic version)

My most recent post focused primarily on the modern, albeit artisanal, method of making ice cream. Of course, I just HAD to then dig into my stash of historic cookbooks and find a few “more appropriate” (for food history nuts like me) receipts. So here’s one of the first published receipts, from the fifth edition [...]
more ice cream (the modern version)

Tuesday evening, I attended an event sponsored by Slow Food NYC at Manhattan’s Astor Center. And yes, the topic was ice cream! It was held in the Study, the Center’s classroom-like fully-equipped cooking lab. First, Michael Crupain of thedairyshow.com introduced Jeri Quinzio. Jeri, author of Of Sugar and Snow: A History of Ice Cream Making [...]

I’ve reached a minor, yet significant, blog milestone. As of my most recent entry, I have now written 100 posts. That’s right, 100. HUZZAH! Of course, this one makes it 101. In any case, I was pretty excited about the whole thing. Figured I should celebrate it in some way. And I did, kinda. I [...]
