This was great! I really loved how non western desserts and stories were included.
An ambitious attempt to cover the history of many dessert categories: ice cream, donuts, cake, pie, brownies, gummies, cookies, and the last chapter was specifically about macrons.
Loved that science was included and that while the history was age appropriate it wasn't completely sanitized, such as using words like ‘enslaved people'.
