Episode 24: Ice Cream Dreams

Tonight on Recipe for Sleep, a podcast where we dust off very old cookbooks and let them lull us into dreamland, we once again visit The American Pastry Cook from 1894, a massive tome with hundreds of recipes and even more stories and advice for the professional hotel cook, steamboat owner, or, in tonight’s case, enterprising young person with an ice cream shop. Your host, Erin Brindley, will softly and sweetly read you delicious recipes for ice creams and frozen punches that will bring back summer memories, and inspire dreams of pinks and green scoops dripping onto the sidewalk. So put away anything you were doing, and snuggle deep into your sweet covers and listen to me read you old cookbooks until you fall asleep.
