Reviews

This book is for those who are truly passionate about desserts to the point of academia. Rather than a cookbook, it is a detailed (and mouth-watering) global history of the sweet course, from the ancient Hindu tradition of offering hibiscus fudge to the goddess Kali to the recent trend for baking cupcakes, made popular thanks to Sex and the City. Excellently researched and full of facts for the dinner table. - allinlondon.co.uk April 2012 "Michael Krondl writes about the history of desserts with grace, wit, and a considerable sweet tooth." --Nick Malgieri, author of BAKE! and The Modern Baker "Frosted with eye-catching detail, layered with the rich and mouthwatering history of all things sweet, and leavened by inspired scholarship, Michael Krondl's history of dessert is a lush confection in its own right... This is a must-read for all of us who care about food history, or have a sweet tooth." --Ian Kelly, author of Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Careme, the First Celebrity Chef " Sweet Invention is a captivating journey of dessert travel. Beautifully written and fun to read, Michael Krondl manages to take us on a ride as kid in a candy store throughout the ages to modern day." --Elizabeth Falkner, chef/pastry chef and author of Elizabeth Falkner's Demolition Desserts "Exhaustive and enlightening history of desserts." -- Booklist "Exhaustive and enlightening history of desserts." -- Booklist
