Introduction -- Topical outline of entries -- The Oxford companion to sugars and sweets -- Appendixes: Films ; Songs ; Pastry shops ; Museums.

Not a cookbook, but a encyclopedia collection of entries on all things sweet. The articles explore the ways in which our taste for sweetness have shaped-- and been shaped by-- history. In addition, you'll discover the origins of mud pie; who the Sara Lee company was named after; why Walker Smith, Jr. is better known as "Sugar Ray Robinson"; and how lyricists have immortalized sweets from "Blueberry Hill" to "Tutti Fruiti."

Goldstein, Darra
