PREFACE
The older ones of us look back on the ice-cream of our youth as
a luxury, to be expected on festivals and holidays. The rising
generation, however, is coming to look on it as a food. Once the
manufacture of the confectionery shop and the household, it is now
produced in great quantities by concerns devoting themselves to it
entirely, making it by highly developed standardized processes. A
line of special machinery has been perfected for its manufacture. The
subject is taught in the colleges. Yet the home manufacture has not
passed and should not pass; rather should the product be made more
frequently and in larger quantity in the household.
No longer must one offer an excuse for a book on ice-cream. This book
is made for class-room and laboratory use, growing out of the author’s
teaching experience; the manufacturer’s interest has been set forth;
yet it is hoped that the housewife will find directions for her use.
