Amazing Gelatin

4 stars, Amazing Gelatin THE GREAT GELATIN REVIVAL by Ken Albala There are amazing things you can do with gelatin. My only contact with it has been Jello, and Jello Jigglers. I might try making jiggly shots, but other than that, I don't think I'll be attempting the other recipes in this book. Our family doesn't care for the texture of gelatin in savory recipes. If you were wondering about the history of gelatin or the early ways of preparing foods with it, then this is the optimum book for you. I received a complimentary copy of #theGreatGelatinRevival from #UniversityofIllinoisPress I was under no obligation to post a review. #coverlove #nonfiction #food #Gelatin
