Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, peach; triple scoops, ice-cream cones, sundaes, floats—when and where did it all begin? From early sixteenth-century Europe to the American Good Humor truck, this delectable confection has been the delight of kings and kids worldwide.

Join us as Jeri Quinzio, author of the IACP award winning book Of Sugar and Snow, traces the history and evolution of the universally favorite treat and dispels some of the myths of ice cream's earliest appearances.

A tasting of artisanal ice creams will precede the lecture in a recreated 19th century Pleasure Garden.

Jeri Quinzio is also the author of Ice Cream: The Ultimate Cold Comfort and a contributor to The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America. Of Sugar and Snow: A History of Ice Cream Making won the 2010 IACP award for best book on culinary history.
