このコンテンツについて

A journalist channels her ice cream obsession, scouring the United States for the best artisanal brands and delving into the surprising history of ice cream and frozen treats in America.

For Amy Ettinger, ice cream is not just a delicious snack but a circumstance and a time of year - frozen forever in memory. As the youngest child and only girl, ice cream embodied unstructured summers, freedom from the tyranny of her classmates, and a comforting escape from her chaotic, demanding family.

Now as an adult and journalist, her love of ice cream has led to a fascinating journey to understand ice cream's evolution and enduring power, complete with insight into the surprising history behind America's early obsession with ice cream and her experience in an immersive ice cream boot camp to learn from the masters. From a visit to the one place in the United States that makes real frozen custard in a mammoth machine known as the Iron Lung, to the vicious competition among small ice cream makers and the turf wars among ice cream trucks, to extreme flavors like foie gras and oyster, Ettinger encounters larger-than-life characters and uncovers what's really behind America's favorite frozen treats.

Sweet Spot is a fun and spirited exploration of a treat Americans can't get enough of - one that transports us back to our childhoods and will have you walking to the nearest shop for a cone.

Includes bonus PDF with recipes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

批評家のレビュー

"[Narrator Kathleen] McInerney is a great choice to recount the author's lifelong love affair with the delectable frozen treat. She clearly and expressively covers the varied topics.... McInerney's feminine, expressive voice conveys Ettinger's enthusiasm for her subject while also providing convincing renderings of the quirky characters she meets on her journey." (AudioFile)

“A surprisingly serious, impressively thorough treatment of ice cream’s cultural significance, fabrication, economics and history, not to mention its effect on human brain chemistry.” (Wall Street Journal)

“[Ettinger’s] richly entertaining, easy-to-read narrative is infused with history, recipes and the science behind what makes for delicious - and sometimes not-so-delicious - flavors.... Ettinger piles on double and triple scoops of fun information that offers literary deliciousness for ice cream lovers everywhere.” (Shelf Awareness)

“A breezy, appealing book...you don’t have to be a foodie to savor [Ettinger’s] tribute to a summer staple.... Her travelogue is a scoop of fun for everyone.” (BookPage)
