The Great Gelatin Revival



Gelatin has re-emerged as a captivating element in creative cuisine and avant-garde drinkology, once synonymous with food novelty. In his most daring culinary exploration yet, Ken Albala takes readers on a sublime journey into the world of aspics, both past and present. Blending history with his trademark zeal for experimentation, Albala traces the ever-changing fortunes of gelatin alongside unique recipes that inspire, delight, and terrify, as only jello can.

Gelatin's arrival in the medieval era marked a technological watershed. Today, it reflects our high-tech zeitgeist. Albala encourages readers to celebrate gelatin's return with practical advice on creating a base and making silicone molds. His outrageous original creations dare you to add a jiggle to breakfast, a nightcap, or any culinary moment in between.

A lighthearted manifesto for the new age of aspics, The Great Gelatin Revival challenges our perception of what food can be. It is a testament to the endless possibilities that gelatin offers, from elegant desserts to innovative cocktails. So, grab your molds, get creative, and let the jiggle begin!
