YUMMY: A HISTORY OF DESSERTS
Writer: Victoria Grace

Have you ever wondered who first thought to freeze cream? Or when people began making sweet pastry shells to encase fruity fillings? With her graphic novel debut, cartoonist Victoria Grace has cooked up a colorful and comprehensive history of seven desserts: ice cream, cake, brownies, donuts, pie, gummies, and cookies in YUMMY: A HISTORY OF DESSERTS. The non-fiction graphic novel takes readers on a fun adventure through sweet culinary history with facts, and legends, and also includes easy-to-make recipes for readers to try at home.
