If you were to create the best-tasting ice cream in the world, how would you do it? Did you know that there’s a real science behind creating new ice cream flavors? In Linda Soules’ So You Want To Be An Ice Cream Flavor Inventor, there’s lots to learn about creating ice cream flavors. The simple fact is that ice cream has to be made sweeter than other desserts because the freezing process dulls the sweetness. Now, I never knew that, did you? Also, it’s the nose that deserves most of the credit. Why? Because it’s the most powerful sense to influence the taste buds. Not to mention color, which affects the way the brain processes the experience. Being an ice cream flavor inventor is definitely more than just eating ice cream all day, every day.
Linda Soules’ book, So You Want To Be An Ice Cream Flavor Inventor, is a tasty, mouthwatering kids’ guide to ice cream science, flavor development, food innovation, and the creative taste-testers who dream up the scoops we all scream for. This book is one of the popular So You Want to Be… series. Being an ice cream flavor inventor is perhaps a job we all take for granted, not realizing that the tasty, cold delight we enjoy actually took a lot of work to create. The author presents becoming an ice cream inventor in a way that will spark a young reader’s interest not just in another sweet treat from the freezer, but in the possibility of becoming the scientist, the creator, behind it. The illustrations are as interesting and inventive as the proposition itself. This series is a wonderful way not only to introduce young readers to fascinating jobs but also to present something that many of us never appreciated as a prospective career opportunity. I loved it, and thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the sweet treat we all love to eat.
