What tops off a summer meal better than a cold, rich ice-cream sundae? In A Month of Sundaes, Michael Turback traces the history of ice cream in America from Thomas Jefferson's "discovery" of its pleasures during his stay in France. Although Americans took ice cream to heart immediately, the sundae took another century to appear. Moving from its origins in Ithaca, New York, through its heyday during the Prohibition to its present-day ubiquity, Turback tells the history of a quintessential American dessert. The first sundae, it appears, was a "Cherry Sunday," invented by a druggist for his soda fountain. A local divine christened it for the Sabbath, but the spelling soon changed. Turback recounts the individual stories of many famous ice-cream parlors across the nation that made their reputations with ever larger and more fanciful combinations of ice creams, syrups, and fruits. Along the way he offers recipes for ice cream and for some of the most notable sundaes ever consumed. Mark Knoblauch
