Sweet Spot: An Ice Cream Binge Across America | 
pickI very much enjoyed this interwoven tale of the history of ice cream and the author‘s obsession in tasting and understanding the world of ice cream. I somehow connected years ago with Amy on social media which is why I was sad to recently learn from her husband‘s posts that she had passed away. I only wish I had gotten to her book sooner. It‘s a lovely tale well told.
pickAfter some heavy reads, I was looking for something lighter, and this hit the (sweet) spot! Ettinger explores how ice cream is made in the US (warning: your bubble about specialty ice cream shops may be burst) and tastes her way through similar products like frozen custard, gelato, and froyo. This one is a lot of fun!
pickThis book has made me rethink what I thought about gelato and ice cream. It burst my happy little bubble, but also explains so much. My favourite chapter was about soda fountains. I will never look at soda fountains in old movies the same way again.
Gelato is like a studly hazelnut gigolo. Ice cream is like the vanilla husband who makes you long for adultery.
Happy #NationalIceCreamDay. We're celebrating by listening to our interview with Amy Ettinger about SWEET SPOT, which chronicles her ice cream binge across the US. How are you celebrating today?
